Ministry & Life Institute Registration

June 6-10, 2021
Pontifical College Josephinum, Columbus Ohio


The NADD Ministry and Life Institute (MLI) gives participants the tools to enhance the life and ministry of deacons in their dioceses. MLI expands on the brevity of the National Directory's seventh chapter, "Post Ordination Path in Diaconate Formation," to enhance the life and ministry of your deacons. MLI helps customize post-ordination programs for the particular needs of your deacons by providing tools for the Office of the Permanent Diaconate  in support of your deacons on behalf of the local Ordinary.

Due to Covid-19 and the savings experienced by NADD over the past nine months the registration fee for the 2021 MLI is only $1,000!

NADD Launches Mobile App!

Today NADD is pleased to announce the launch of the NADD Mobile App for smartphones and tablets!  The NADD Mobile App contains much of the same information as the website and even allows members to register for the 2021 Convention!

By turning on notifications for NADD on your device, you will be able to receive notices and information from the Association whenever there is a need for us to quickly reach out to the membership.

The development and deployment of the NADD Mobile App is a significant step forward toward the implementation of the Vision and Priorities Plan.  The App will be regularly enhanced so that NADD members will have the resources they need both in the office and on the move!
