Cost of the Gathering
Every year, our goal is to break even on the Gathering. Truth-be-told, most years, we run a deficit. This year we are piloting a new registration model. We estimate that our break-even cost per person for Gathering 2025 is ~$225. We invite those who would like to support the Ekklesia Project and help keep our Gathering deficit to a minimum to register at the 
Sustaining
 level. Those with institutional continuing education support and/or surplus resources are encouraged to register at the 
Supporting
 level. Those who do so will help support the attendance of students and those without surplus resources or institutional funds, who we invite to register at the 
Supported
 level.
Children at the Gathering
Parents are welcome to bring their children. Childcare will be available at Catholic Theological Union this summer for infants, toddlers, elementary-aged, and middle school children during the plenary sessions with a children's ticket.
