POSTPONED-2020 Catholic Women's Conference

Danielle Bean, author of You Are Enough: What Women of the Bible Teach You About Your Mission and Worth, is the keynote speaker for the 2020 Norwich Diocesan Women's Conference.

“Danielle Bean is the real Catholic deal – she talks the talk and walks the walk (in stunning high-heeled shoes, no less!) As an authentic wife, mother, daughter, and friend striving to serve God with her whole life. Danielle speaks directly to the hearts of women in the trenches with great wisdom, wit, and grace, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

– Heather Renshaw, Founder/Creative Director of Catholic Women Rejoice

The conference is scheduled to take place on March 28, 2020 at St. Bernard High School in Uncasville.

The 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. conference will also feature workshops, Mass celebrated by the Most Reverend Michael R. Cote, bishop of Norwich, and adoration and reconciliation.
