The Orange County Catholic Prayer Breakfast (OCCPB) first emerged through the
inspiration of three couples who attended the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast in Washington DC and recognized it's potential spiritual impact for Southern California: Bill and Helen Close, Allen and Kathie Lund, and Tom and Margie Romano. The Magis Institute, in collaboration with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, hosted the first Los Angeles Catholic Prayer Breakfast in 2005. It was so successful that the Orange County Catholic Prayer breakfast was launched immediately thereafter in 2006. Both breakfasts have become annual staples in the Southern California Catholic calendar recently attracting upwards of 1,500 guests per event. The Orange County Catholic Prayer Breakfast continues as a lay apostolate, planned and organized by an all-volunteer effort. This inspiring opportunity for prayer, reflection and formation is recognized and supported by the Diocese of Orange. In 2013, the OCCPB became part of the Napa Institute with the hope of expanding the model to other regions and developing more Catholic prayer breakfasts in the coming years. The goal is to share our model of organization and facilitation with churches and business leaders who are committed to this effort as a spiritual benefit to their diocese.
