The theme of the third CEMA Summit is The Call to Divine Mercy, which is one of the three areas of focus for CEMA along with the Call to Confraternity and the Call to Consecration. On the doorstep of the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope, we recall that on Divine Mercy Sunday in the Great Jubilee of 2000, Pope St. John Paul established the Feast of Mercy in the Universal Church during the canonization Mass of St. Maria Faustina of the Blessed Sacrament, the Apostle and Secretary of Divine Mercy. Later that day, the Holy Father was overheard saying it was "the happiest day of his life" and, on more than one occasion, stressed, "There is nothing mankind needs more than Divine Mercy."

THE CEMA SUMMIT - March 22nd, 2024 

EXPANDING THE "B A S E" TO JESUS THROUGH MARY by means of CEMA's Calls to Confraternity, Consecration & Divine Mercy.

• This second Summit featured Bishop Joseph N. Perry and David Carollo, Executive Director of the World Apostolate of Fatima, USA and the Blue Army Shrine.
• Our Lady is leveraging CEMA to sanctify souls and bring them to our Eucharistic Lord.
• The geography of the Catholic Church can be broadly broken down to its Universal, National and Diocesan dimensions. 
• CEMA is ordered towards the Universal dimension through its calls to Confraternity, Consecration and Divine Mercy.
• Intentionally building the BASE to Jesus through Mary establishes affiliation with: Bishops, who represent ecclesial authority; Apostolates who are the "laborers for the harvest;" and Shrines that act as identifiable beachheads by which to employ CEMA's 3 Calls.

172 participants from around the world attended this year's CEMA SUMMIT held on March 22nd featuring keynotes by Bishop Joseph Perry and David Carollo, Director of the World Apostolate of Fatima, USA. Other contributors included Bishop Pierre-Olivier Tremblay, Fr. Lawrence Lew, Umberto Angeloni, Marian Mulhall, Barb Ernster as well as a number of CEMA members.

Put in musical terms, this year's CEMA SUMMIT birthed "A Divine Symphony"* written by The Master Composer, orchestrated by His Maestro, "Mary, Mother of the Church," and initiated through BASE. (Bishops, Apostolates, Shrines, Everywhere)

As symphonies are usually written in four movements, CEMA's three "Calls" leading to the Eucharist; the Source and Summit, represent the dynamic evangelistic efforts of the Church's Bishops and Lay Apostolates (See Apostolicam actuositatem - Decree on the Apostolate of Lay People) in Shrines; the “concert halls” of the Church established by local ordinaries often at the insistence of Mary, Mother of the Church, during her approved apparitions..

* Symphony is derived from the Greek word συμφωνία (symphōnía), meaning "agreement or concord of sound" - (See Matthew 18:19)
