Save the Date! First Archdiocesan Women's Conference Dec 7 at Philadelphia Convention Center






You're Invited! Save the Date!

We invite all women - married, single, and consecrated - to join us for the first Archdiocesan Catholic Women's Conference in Philadelphia - The Feminine Genius:  Every Woman's Gift - to be held on Dec. 7, 2013 in the Philadelphia Convention Center.   

The day will begin with Mass celebrated by Archbishop Chaput, who affirms the significance of this gathering:  "The Catholic Women's Conference opens a door to the most beautiful kind of renewal, the kind that comes from an authentic feminine leadership in the family, in the community, in business, in education, and in public life.  I wholeheartedly support this event."
 
Throughout the day, various speakers will address the Catholic perspectives on current news and issues affecting women and how we, as women of faith, can respond with an authentic feminine presence to transform every aspect of life and society. We will have two simultaneous tracks; one for adults and one for high school girls, both with Mass, speakers, breakout sessions, and opportunities for confession.  During lunch we will offer a special Christmas Market with various local boutique vendors for some fun shopping.  Leaving this event, you will be renewed in your unique dignity and mission as a Catholic woman and better equipped to face the challenges of our culture.    

Register today with our early registration rates! 
Adult:  $60
High School Youth:  $50

Group of 10:  $500 (Consider gathering a group from your parish, your school, your Bible study, your Walking with Purpose group, or even your neighborhood!)




This event is the initiative of Catholic women from various parishes in Philadelphia, hosted by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and Endow (www.EndowGroups.org)
