Indiana Holy Family Catholic Conference is May 17-18 in Kokomo

“Building the Domestic Church through God, Family and Love” is the theme for the second annual Indiana Holy Family Catholic Conference on May 17-18 in Kokomo, Ind.

The conference is jointly hosted by St. Joan of Arc and St. Patrick parishes in Kokomo in the Lafayette Diocese and is sponsored by St. Joseph Hospital and the Knights of Columbus of Kokomo.

Nationally known Catholic speakers scheduled for the event include:

  • Dr. Ray Guarendi, a clinical psychologist, author and radio host,
  • Brothers of St. John Father Antoine Thomas, an EWTN personality,
  • Patty Schneier of St. Louis, a lifelong Catholic wife, mother and public speaker,
  • Father Peter Laird, assistant professor of Moral Theology at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minn.

“This conference will provide families with some very relevant information to help strengthen their families and even be life changing for them,” said Father Theodore Dudzinski, moderator of the hosting parishes.

“When God and his Church’s teachings are placed at the heart of the family, the family is able to prosper and grow. We believe that God is giving us the necessary grace to witness his love and build the domestic Church today.”

The Catholic family conference will be held at Kokomo High School, 2502 S. Berkley, in Kokomo.

Special activities are planned for children of all ages, with some programs specifically directed toward teenagers, along with the celebration of Mass on both days of the event.
