CATHOLIC WOMEN FOR CHRIST CONFERENCE
ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI

MARCH 31, 2012

We warmly invite you to the third annual Catholic Women for Christ Conference which will take place at the America’s Center in downtown St. Louis on March 31st of 2012.

Doors open at 7:00 a.m. Eucharistic Adoration chapel opens and early check-in encouraged. Early vendor shopping also available.

Our conference begins with morning praise and worship in music and song at 7:30 a.m. and concludes with the celebration of the Holy Eucharist at 4:00 p.m. with the Most Reverend Robert J. Carlson, Archbishop of St. Louis. Come and personally be refreshed in your Catholic faith, in complete fidelity to the authentic teachings of the Magisterium and the Holy Catholic Church led by the Holy Father, Benedict XVI, with priority given to personal prayer and to Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.

Come and together, let us remember our interior beauty and priceless value of heart and soul, reflecting the radiant image and likeness of God—our true reflection of the FATHER.

Come and join us, and many more women united in prayer, to rebuild our faith, remember our hope in Christ, and ignite our love for God and all others. Together, let us renew our fundamental vocation to know, love and serve the Lord!

Learn more about the conference.

There is a special Christmas Special $35 through December 31,2011

Christ Renews His Parish (CRHP) team  5 had such a great spiritual experience after attending the retreat; they wanted to keep the feeling of community and spirituality alive.  These women started meeting monthly at Frailey's Grill to construct a new women's organization since the Ladies Guild was no longer in existence.  Soon the meetings expanded to include other CRHP formation teams, 3 and 4.  After a year long process and numerous meetings with Paul Cooper and Monsignor Norb, the women proposed the name, the mission statement and the bi-laws.  On Wednesday, November 4,2009 the first meeting was held in the parish center with over one hundred thirty women from our parish in attendance.  The CRHP 5 dreams had come true.   Even though the organization was founded by the CRHP teams, it is not necessary for a woman to attend a CRHP retreat to join the organization.  We welcome all women of our parish to become a member of W.I.N.  There are no membership fees.  Consider taking time for yourself to fellowship with old and new friends of SMMA.
