Dear past attendee of the Archdiocesan Women's Conference, 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Archdiocesan Women's Conference, scheduled for November 7, 2020, has been postponed in-person (save the date for November 6, 2021!).

However, the experience of the Women's Conference will take place in an extended virtual format, from this fall to next spring. These virtual events will take place on the first Wednesday of every month at 7:00 p.m. The evening will be a little taste of the Women's Conference experience: a workshop followed by a unique prayer experience. 

We invite you to register in advance for the virtual event and come as you are - yoga pants or sweatshirt or stilettos, glass of wine or cup of tea - to partake in spiritual nourishment and time in community as a taste of the experience of the Women's Conference in this socially distant time.... and of course, you can save your registration fee for the next in-person conference in 2021, because this year will be free of charge! 

Please join us on November 4, 2020, when we will kick off the 2020 virtual conference experience with the following: 

Workshop: Love, (Hope, Joy, and Mercy) in the Time of Sorrow
(presented by Kerry A. Robinson)
We are living through an epoch of great sorrow, deprivation, uncertainty, loss and division. Deep in the Catholic imagination is an understanding of the Paschal Mystery, that out of suffering and death comes new life. Join us for a hope-filled conversation on the role that women of all ages and backgrounds are playing in bringing mercy, compassion, innovation, courage, and leadership to light the path forward for all of us.
 
Prayer Experience: Using Technology in Your Prayer Life During Social Distancing
As women of faith, we know how essential it is that we nurture our connection with God through a deliberate and intentional prayer life. With the busyness of daily life and the distractions that surround us, this can be a challenging task. We live in a world full of new and exciting technology, which has become all the more necessary in a time of social distance and quarantine. Can the digital world help enhance our prayer lives and allow us to grow closer to God? Come and learn ways to experience your relationship with God in new ways as we explore how technology can revitalize our prayer lives, even in a time of digital overload.

Registration is simple and free of charge - simply click here to register! (If you need assistance, simply email OEEC@aohct.org for tech support or call 860.242.5573 and leave a message at the OEEC.) 

Please feel free to share this event with anyone who would benefit from participating. All women of faith, of every age and stage, are welcome! More information about the virtual conference and the schedule of speakers is available on the Women's Conference webpage. 

Thank you for your past presence at and continued support of the Conference!
