The Rebuilt Conference is for parishes, by parishes, bringing Catholic pastors, parish staff, and key volunteer leaders together for two full days of ideas, honest conversations, prayer, encouragement, and connection.
You will learn from leaders who are doing this work every week and from parishes applying the Rebuilt model in different communities, sizes, and circumstances. There is no one-size-fits-all formula for parish renewal – but there is tremendous value in bringing your team together to learn, discern, exchange ideas, and get on the same page about what can come next!
In 2025, we invited parish leaders to imagine what God could do in their parish. In 2027, it is time to Go Forward. Inspired by Exodus 14, this year’s theme comes from the moment when the Israelites find themselves with the sea ahead and an army behind them. The way forward is not obvious, but God’s direction is clear: “Tell the Israelites to go forward.” (Exodus 14:15) That same call still speaks to the Church today. Parish leaders are making important decisions, facing new challenges, and looking for ways to lead with greater clarity, courage, and confidence in where God is calling their communities next.
Join us in Maryland with your team, make space for the conversations that are difficult to have in the pace of everyday parish life, and leave ready to Go Forward together!

Previous Attendees Said:
"I entered the conference feeling tired, burned out and a little cynical after having been at this for 10+ years... but left feeling hopeful and ready to keep at it. The worship team led the song 'Take You at Your Word' by Cody Carnes. The line 'If You start it, You'll complete it' has stuck with me since then... because we know the Holy Spirit inspired us to begin, and I have confidence that the Holy Spirit will continue to guide us and push us to what God is calling us to."
"After attending Rebuilt 2025, I returned home renewed and convinced that we needed to make the necessary changes in our parish to truly allow the Lord to have His way. We had engaged in pastoral planning, but we had not reshaped the structures of the parish to create space for the Holy Spirit to bring something new to life. Over the past year, the leadership team and I have been intentional about both making those structural changes and listening attentively to the promptings of the Spirit."
"The theme for Rebuilt Conference 2025, Can You Imagine? really did ignite our imagination! The workshops were informative and experiencing the radical hospitality of everyone involved gave us picture of what we could be. We have shared what we learned with our parish Rebuilt team, encouraging everyone to just imagine what WE can do!"
