Application Information

TLAA SUMMER - AUGUST 23 - 29, 2026

  • Your registration includes workshop instruction and materials, lodging, all meals, and the use of facilities and amenities of the Diakonia Retreat Center.

  • Prices vary due to the length of each Academy and the type of lodging you select (see below).

  • To learn more about the accommodations at the Diakonia Retreat Center, go to our Lodging page.

  • Initially all students will be invoiced at Lodge Single Rate for your Academy until lodge assignments are finalized.

  • We cannot finalize lodge assignments until we know the number of men, women and married couples who apply; this is due to the lodging limitations at the DRC.

  • We appreciate your patience in this process and we will do our best to accommodate your preferences.

  • Please read important terms and conditions below.

    TRAVEL INSURANCE -- In light of these terms, you may want to consider purchasing Travel Insurance from a third party vendor.

  • As you register, you will be asked for your lodging preferences. Initially you will be invoiced at the BASE REGISTRATION RATE for LODGE SINGLE and later the appropriate adjustments will be applied to your invoice, based on your lodging assignment. We will do our best to accommodate your preferences.

    Note that the facilities at the DRC necessitate that we consider many factors when assigning lodging —such as how many women and men register, consideration for physical limitations, or if we have married couples. There are more lodge rooms than cabins, so most students will be housed in the lodges. Cabins usually fill quickly, are subject to availability, and are prioritized for married couples.

    You will be notified of your assignment about 2 months before the Academy starts. In some cases, we might need to make a change to your lodging assignment to appropriately accommodate the entire group. Please be patient with us; it’s a little like a game of Tetris!

  • Registration has been subsidized by on average $425 per student through grant funding. We encourage students to ask for support from their local parish or bishop as they see appropriate.
