The Catholic Bar Association’s Board of Directors opened the CBA’s 10th Annual Conference and General Assembly with its annual in-person Business Meeting in Kansas City, MO. There, the Board undertook important planning for the coming year, which will culminate with the 11th Annual Conference and General Assembly in Dallas, Texas, September 24-26, 2026. CBA Member attendance opened with a convivial welcome reception at the Bishop Hogan Center, which is situated on the grounds of Kansas City’s beautiful and distinctive Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. One day after a sitting US Senator openly questioned the propriety of a government official adhering to the natural law, it seemed fitting to convene in a venue named for a pioneering prelate who in his own time took a very public and controversial stance against State interference in the practice of our Faith. The Conference theme, Building on Ten Years of Christian Witness in Law, was exemplified by the CBA’s return to Kansas City (the site of its first two conferences), by the participation of several of its original conference speakers, and by the renewal of many long standing acquaintances and friendships. © Catholic Bar Association, most photos from Paoletti Photography |

Our History, Vision and Purpose
| The Catholic Bar Association (CBA) is a lay movement within the Church to build community, nationally and internationally, among Catholic members of the legal profession. The underlying vision for this organization was an inspiration felt by many of the founding members. Led by the Holy Spirit, members of different Catholic lawyers’ organizations, universities and dioceses from across the United States have formed the CBA. |
