Annual Meeting 2026
“Holy Figures, Eternal France”

Dear Members and Friends, 

​​​

The French Chapter and the Board of the European Fraternity warmly invite you to our Annual Meeting 2026 in Paris.

 

Draw inspiration from France's holy figures, like St. Joan of Arc and St. Therese of Lisieux, who bridged deep faith with bold action.

 

In our divided Europe, join Christian leaders from across the continent and beyond to renew our spiritual and cultural heritage. The Annual Meeting in Paris will be a hub for exchange, collaboration, and ignition of new initiatives. We invite you to make use of this occasion to expand your network for impactful collaboration, to get to know peers from different countries and to work alongside impactful Christian leaders.

​

Our Mission for you during this meeting:

  • Forge strategic alliances and lasting friendships

  • Build mission-oriented collaboration for increasing impact

  • Explore the soul of France through spiritual, cultural, and intellectual programs

  • Share best practices, pitch projects, and spark synergies

​

Join us in one of Europe's hearts and help build the momentum for Christian renewal.
