Our program begins at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, May 27, and concludes at noon on Friday, May 29.
Following last year's focus on our "common life" as part of the Diocesan Network of the Pontifical Mission Societies, we will be at this year's National Meeting:
• Recap activities and actions flowing from last year's discussions on the Missionary Childhood Association ("Your Inner MCA") and the Missionary Cooperation Plan ("MCPlus")
• Review our materials and initiatives through a "virtual" lens
• Remember the 50th anniversary of the Decree on the Missionary Activity of the Church from the Second Vatican Council, Ad Gentes, and reflect on its meaning for our work for the Pontifical Mission Societies today.
More specifics on the program -- a schedule for each day -- will be included in the navigation to the left, as the program develops.
Bishop Joseph A. Pepe of Las Vegas welcomes us to his diocese. He will celebrate Liturgy on Wednesday, May 27, at 4:30 p.m. at Guardian Angel Cathedral, just a short walk from our hotel.

And our local hosts, Father Robert Stoeckig and his team, await us in this young diocese in the West -- established just in 1995.
Although Nevada was the last of the 48 contiguous states to have its own diocese, the Church in Southern Nevada that now makes up the Diocese of Las Vegas had a long and colorful history; read all about it on the diocese's website.
