April 17-18, 2026
The Catholic Diocese of Wichita's 2026 parish leader conference focuses on the Sacred Heart of Jesus and invites parishes into a renewal of evangelization, discipleship and stewardship - uniting spiritual renewal, diocesan vision, and practical tools for parish life.

Vision for Evangelization + Discipleship + Stewardship
Rooted in the Sacred Heart of Jesus—the source of every good and perfect gift—we seek renewal that joins Structure and Spirit in parish life.

The conference draws from Ezekiel 37:1–14, the vision of the valley of dry bones. The bones had structure. They had form. But they lacked breath. The Lord commanded, “Prophesy to the bones…and the breath came into them, and they lived.” Strong systems, committees, plans, and tools are essential—but without the Holy Spirit, they eventually become dry bones. This conference is about structures into which the Lord can breathe his will.
