The Los Angeles Religious Education Congress (RECongress) is a four-day event held by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles . The event began in 1956 as an "Institute" of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, popularly known as CCD. In 1967, the first three-day “Congress” was held. In 1970, the event moved to the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim , California. It had been named as the largest annual gathering of Catholics in the United States with roughly 40,000 people attending. In recent years, after COVID, attendance has dropped to approximately 12,000 people over the four-day event. The focus of the RECongress is for those in attendance to learn more about the Catholic faith as well as seeking personal growth. It is open to all people of different faiths.
