The Catholic Family Conference: Strengthening Catholic Families
Saturday, November 22 · 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM
Historic Sacred Heart Chapel, 381 W Center St, Covina, CA
When the world pulls families away from God, we pull together.
Parents are fighting to pass on the Faith while the culture tugs at their children’s hearts. Many feel alone, worn down, and unsure how to keep Christ at the center.
This day changes that.
Stand with Catholic families in proclaiming Christ as King. Be renewed in the truth of the Faith, lifted by the joy of worship, and strengthened with the courage to live for Him in every part of life. Leave equipped, encouraged, and united with others who are building holy homes
