Gospel of Life Conference set

The annual Gospel of Life conference is set for 8 a.m. Oct. 24 at Christ the King Parish in Denver.

Theme for this year’s event is “The Family.” Keynote speakers are Helen Alvaré,  Father Jorge Rodriguez and Jonathan Reyes.  Alvaré is associate professor at the George Mason School of Law.  She will offer a consideration of the family from a global, sociological perspective. Father Rodriguez, vice rector at Denver’s St. John Vianney Theological Seminary, will speak on the theology of the family, and consider how the true nature of God’s love, mercy and beauty can be fully reflected in the vision of holy, happy families. Reyes, newly appointed executive director of Catholic Charities in Colorado, will offer practical ways in which families can grow in holiness and virtue amidst the challenges abounding in our culture today.
