Archdiocesan women’s conference is April 28

“The Great Dignity, Potential and Responsibility of Women” is the theme for the fourth annual “Treasuring Womanhood” archdiocesan women’s conference on April 28 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis.

Featured speakers are:

  • Teresa Tomeo, the host of a Catholic radio show in Detroit,
  • Rosalind Moss, a staff apologist with Catholic Answers in El Cajon, Calif., who is back by popular demand,
  • Attorney Marjorie Murphy Campbell of San Francisco,
  • and Franciscan Father Joseph Michael Mary McShane, a former missionary priest who ministers as vocations director for the Franciscans of the Immaculate at Mother of the Redeemer Retreat Center in Bloomington.

Catholic vocalist Annie Karto, an Indianapolis native who now lives in Treasure Island, Fla., will sing during Mass and eucharistic adoration at the conference, which begins at 8 a.m.

The conference is sponsored by the St. Michael Foundation, Marian Center of Indianapolis and archdiocesan Office for Pro-Life Ministry.

“The conference … can empower us as women as it helps us to grow more in our love for God and our service to him,” said St. Roch parishioner Kathy Denney of Indianapolis, a conference organizer.

Registrations received by April 21 are $40 per person and include lunch. The cost is $20 for high school and college students. Late reservations are $45 per person and may not include lunch.
