CMSM National Assembly 2025
Hyatt Regency Baltimore Inner Harbor | July 21-24, 2025

This year’s Assembly theme is inspired by the Jubilee year and invites members to reflect on the ways their leadership—and communities—enact solidarity and fraternity. 

Male religious in the United States have long been active in justice and peace work as an expression of solidarity. However, demographic shifts, generational changes, and an evolving culture have all affected long-standing models of that work. Additionally, the Jubilee theme—“pilgrims of hope”—brings a renewed focus on the fraternal life of the community as journeying together in hope.  

This year’s Assembly is designed to prompt discussions around a series of key topics related to solidarity and fraternity in light of the Jubilee year, including the use of power, topical discussions on migration, option for the poor, care for creation, and pro-life issues, as well as examining fraternal life in light of these issues. 

Join us this summer in Baltimore, MD, to engage with these topics, converse with fellow leaders, and reflect on the impact of the Jubilee year on male religious life! 

“With charity and clarity we are all called to live in solidarity and fraternity, to build bridges that bring us ever closer together, to avoid walls of ignominy and to learn to give our lives as Jesus Christ gave his for the salvation of all.” 

-Pope Francis (Letter of the Holy Father to the Bishops of the United States of America, 9)
