This year’s Living the Catholic Faith Conference has as its scriptural theme, “Live with Conviction—For the Love of Christ Compels Us” (2 Cor 5:14), in observance of the Year of St. Paul. The conference will consider various themes associated with the life of St. Paul, among them his love of the Church and his zeal for the faith. 

Last year, the conference attracted 2,500 people. The Living the Catholic Faith Conference offers insight into Catholic teachings and provides attendees with scriptural and doctrinal background needed to live a life of genuine, informed Catholic witness.  Opening day Mass will be celebrated by Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap.

Conley, who will speak on his episcopal motto, “Heart Speaks to Heart”; and convert to Catholicism Marcus Grodi, president and founder of an organization for converts to Catholicism, who will speak on conversion.

The conference is open to all Catholic adults and a Spanish track will be offered on Saturday.
