"Live each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance towards the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point. So climb slowly, enjoying each passing moment; and then the view from the summit will serve a more rewarding climax for your journey.”
– Archbishop Fulton Sheen

New for 2024! "Choose Your Own Path"

To customize each woman's conference experience, we are offering 2 opportunities of "Choose Your Own Path." During this time, we will have workshop options, including a Spanish Track, demonstrations, confession, adoration, the rosary, and specific times to meet and greet our vendors. Or if you'd like to just sit and have coffee with a friend, that is available during that time, too!

These "Choose Your Own Path" options will be posted on the website in January. They do not need to be selected ahead of time.
