As the United States of America commemorates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, The Catholic University of America marks this national milestone by highlighting the enduring contributions of Catholics–including alumnus and former professor Archbishop Fulton Sheen–and the profound influence of the Catholic intellectual and spiritual tradition on the life of the nation.

Join fellow clergy and religious for a two-day conversation exploring Catholicism and formation in America, hosted in the heart of our nation’s capital. This event will offer opportunities for prayer, fellowship, and reflection.
