DIOCESE OF LANSING

CATHOLIC WOMEN’S CONFERENCE

LANSING CENTER | 9AM-5PM

OCTOBER 12, 2019

The Diocese of Lansing Catholic Women’s Conference is preparing for its seventh conference on Saturday, Oct. 12, 2019. Each year, approximately 1,000 women from our diocese and across the state of Michigan come together at this conference to be inspired and renewed in their faith as they enjoy praise and worship music, listen to motivating speakers, celebrate holy Mass with our bishop, shop with our vendors and experience the fellowship of sisterhood in Christ Jesus. We have heard many stories over the years from women whose lives have been impacted by attending the conference, who then go forth with the Love and Mercy of God to their families and communities.

It is our prayer that you will join us in encouraging the women of our diocese to “Hope”!
