Gather. Learn. Renew.
Events that equip leaders to transform Catholic education.
"As a priest and an educator, I have been attending Catholic School gatherings for over 40 years. I found the School Leaders Summit to be the most helpful, informative, and exciting that I have ever attended. I could have stayed longer! I recommend it without reservation!"
School Accelerator
Focused on school leaders and clergy–with tracks for both new and established schools–this three-day intensive retreat is designed to build a school’s capacity for Perennial Catholic Education. With workshops on mission and vision, curriculum and pedagogy, fundraising and change management, our School Accelerator rapidly equips schools to find their place in the renewal.
The next School Accelerator will be held February 2–5, 2026, at the Augustine Institute in St. Louis, MO. Communities interested in hosting a regional Accelerator may contact Francis Lee at flee@jhni.org
"Thank you for a wonderful week of networking, affirmation of the great work we are doing, inspiration to bring back to our faculty and staff, and the opportunity for personal, professional, and spiritual renewal. I feel charged and ready to head back to school tomorrow with new goals and a road map for how to achieve them. It really was a spectacular week. Thank you for all the hard work that went into this week."
Awakening Summits
In communities that are open to renewal, we take our team on the road, mobilizing local leadership to join the movement and strengthen their communities from within. These events shed light on the current educational crisis, introduce the Catholic intellectual tradition, and align local institutions prepared to lead the renewal.
