A cultural event; the result of an encounter
The Des Moines Meeting is a gathering of people who believe that reality has something to say — and that encountering it together, openly and seriously, changes us. It is Catholic in origin, but built for anyone willing to look at the questions of culture, faith, work, beauty, and what it means to be human in this moment.
From panel discussions to Mass at the Cathedral, from lunch to a concert and an evening together — the day is designed not just to inform, but to propose. Come curious. Leave moved.
