Assembly of Hope
FRIDAY, MAY 1, 3:00 P.M. – SUNDAY, MAY 3, 12:00 P.M.
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA
This May 1–3, join Discerning Deacons in Indianapolis for our first national Assembly of Hope—a chance to celebrate how far we’ve come, deepen relationships across our network, and orient together for the road ahead during the Vatican’s synod implementation phase. Through plenaries, workshops, shared prayer, and an opportunity for prophetic public witness, we’ll name barriers, sharpen our strategy, and strengthen the bonds that make this work possible. We’re so glad you’re here!

The cost of attendance per person is $650, which includes two nights’ hotel accommodations, meals, and conference fees. Travel to and from Indianapolis not included.
In an effort to keep the assembly as affordable as possible, we offer four registration tiers:
- Supporting Rate ($800)
Priced above cost to cover your own attendance and support a fellow attendee. - Sustaining Rate ($650)
Priced at cost to cover your own attendance. - Supported Rate ($500)
Priced below cost of your own attendance, made possible by others’ generosity. - Commuter Rate ($300)
Priced at cost of your own attendance without a hotel room.
Note: Registrants at any tier are welcome to add a donation to support others’ attendance. We’re grateful for your generosity in making this gathering as widely accessible as possible!
Limited additional scholarship funding is available for anyone for whom the Supported Rate or travel costs remain a barrier. Please contact admin@discerningdeacons.org to apply.
