Posted on January 13, 2020 in: Norwich Diocesan Council of Catholic Women, Canceled Events

POSTPONED-2020 Catholic Women's Conference

This Event has been postponed until a date yet to be determined, due to COVID-19(coronavirus) concerns.

 
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.

Unwrapping the Stories Behind Our Favorite Carols
  When my children were in grade school, we hosted several caroling parties in December. Family and friends would pile into the house, and I’d hand out little songbooks I had put together. After a short practice session in the living room, where I could see the Cathedral from the window, we would set out into the neighborhood. We stopped at houses along the way, including the rectory and the bishop’s house, before ending at Sheltering Arms, a senior residence in Norwich. The night always ended back at home with mugs of hot chocolate and slow cookers f...
