One in Christ: A Church Unity Conference is a day of Mass, teaching, and testimony examining what full communion with the Catholic Church requires — including the Church's authority and the role of the papacy. The conference is intended for those wanting to understand full communion, those currently part of or drawn to communities operating outside it, and those accompanying a family member or friend through that question.

The conference is not oriented toward correction or debate. Its purpose is to provide clear teaching on the nature of full communion with the whole of Christ's Church.
