Archdiocese of Chicago: Fall 2026 Renewal Workshops

/

Answer the call to spiritual renewal! The Archdiocese of Chicago is hosting a series of Renewal Workshops this fall designed for all parish leaders—both lay ministers and clergy.

Facilitated by members of the archdiocesan Spiritual Renewal Team, these online sessions offer a space for prayer, teaching, practical exercises, and discussion. Participants will explore key principles of renewal, gain practical tools for parish transformation, and re-ignite personal missionary discipleship.
