Join our community of educators as they gather together to be inspired and equipped in their mission to understand the liberal arts tradition and bring its educational insights to life in their classrooms.  Our goal is twofold: to provide participants with rich content that will nurture their vocation as educators and arm them with a message of strength and hope that can be shared with the communities they serve during this time of significant distractions and challenges.

The 2nd Adeodatus National Conference theme of Students Fully Alive! provides pedagogical formation in both the theory and practice of the liberal arts method, based on 2500 years of best practices. Presenters will also be sharing strategies on how to apply their insights to the issues faced by 21st century learners. Our all-keynote format provides dynamic and engaging sessions on the important topics of wonder; focus; memory; inquiry; leisure; integration; technological use and abuse; cooperation among students, teachers, and parents; supporting at-risk students; as well as real solutions to questions about the best ways to form and educate students today, citing data and real life experiences.

This four-day gathering brings together educators, scholars, and Catholic thought leaders to explore the integral formation of students and teachers in mind, body, and spirit. Each day will focus on a distinct theme, beginning with Sound Bodies & Keen Minds, addressing topics like memory, mimesis, and freedom from technological distractions. Pure Hearts & Kindled Spirits follows, emphasizing integrity, common sense, and flourishing in Catholic education. The third day will introduce The Adeodatus-Cardinal Newman Society Eucharistic Project and The Adeodatus Catholic Culture Curriculum, centering on the Eucharist as the heart of Catholic education. The conference concludes with the Cornerstone Forum-Adeodatus “Tocqueville” Project, a deep dive into the cultural and political landscape of Catholic education in America.

In addition to daily Mass, attendees will have the opportunity to join the monks for many parts of the Liturgy of the Hours, beginning with Matins at 6 AM each day, as well as spend time in Adoration, available all day in the monastery’s beautiful chapel.
