Join more than 1,200 Catholic women from around the Archdiocese of Philadelphia as we gather for the ninth annual Catholic Women’s Conference on the beautiful grounds of the Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa in Doylestown.

The Catholic Women’s Conference is an opportunity to live vibrantly and celebrate our Catholic faith! We encourage you to register early, as the event is a sellout each year.

This day-long event will be held  Saturday, Oct. 19 and is sponsored by the archdiocesan Office of the New Evangelization. We are proud to offer an English track, Spanish track, American Sign Language track with Mass, featured speakers, confession, and a closing prayer service with Eucharistic Adoration. The event is for all Catholic women, no matter where you find yourself on your faith journey.

Check out our speakers (English / Español) who are excited to share the love of God with you!

This year’s theme, “The Joys of Womanhood: Sacred, Beloved, and Beautiful,” invites women to focus on the gift of being a woman and the joy that brings to our everyday lives. As women, we are called to be all that God created us for, whether it’s as a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, or a friend. We want you to experience a day of recognizing that joyfulness within yourself.

The Catholic Women’s Conference committee desires to serve you by creating this opportunity for personal and spiritual growth across all cultural backgrounds of women.  We believe making time to reflect upon our faith is critical to building a strong Catholic presence in our world, which is why participating in this event will better equip you to fulfil your mission as a woman of God and live the life you were meant to live.

The conference day is designed to enrich women both educationally and spiritually while also promoting unity and a community of like-minded Catholic women. There is plenty of time for fellowship during mealtimes and breaks.

We encourage you to join us and grow deeper in faith, whether it be through the words and wisdom shared by one of our speakers, or personal prayer time that inspires reflection and contemplation on God’s word.

Whether you find yourself laughing, crying, listening to the Holy Spirit through prayer, or befriending someone new, we hope that you will experience a new gratitude and understanding of the grace and joy bestowed upon you as a woman of God.

Come and encounter the delight of God’s love, experiencing the pure joys of womanhood at this year’s Catholic Women’s Conference. By fully engaging in the offerings of the day, we are confident that each woman will leave the day filled with the graces God has in store for her, as well as gaining a greater understanding of Jesus’ boundless love for each of us personally.

Each year, we have a variety of vendors join us including Catholic ministries and retail companies. You will love the opportunity to visit the vendors during the day, and at the end of the event to continue learning about and celebrating our Catholic faith.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Catholic Women’s Conference for a joyful day surrounded by sacred, beloved, and beautiful women sharing in God’s eternal love.

We look forward to seeing you there!
