Let Γ be a torsion-free geometrically finite Kleinian group. In this paper, we investigate which systems of loxodromic conjugacy classes of Γ can be simultaneously made parabolic in a group on the boundary of the quasi-conformal deformation space of Γ. We shall prove that for this, it is sufficient that the classes of the system are represented by disjoint primitive simple closed curves on the ideal boundary of H3/Γ.
