Catholic Infertility Conference
Join us for the Catholic Infertility Conference, a supportive gathering dedicated to families navigating the complex journey of infertility. This event will provide a safe space to engage with faith, hope, and community. Attendees will hear from experts in reproductive health, clergy, and fellow Catholics who share their personal experiences and insights.
The conference will cover a variety of topics, including the spiritual aspects of infertility, medical and ethical considerations in fertility treatments, and practical advice for coping with the emotional challenges of this journey. Cardinal Burke will celebrate the Holy Mass. The Norbertine priests of the Shrine will be available for Confession, and there will be opportunities to venerate the first-class relic of Saint Gianna Molla.
With opportunities for prayer, reflection, and healing, this conference aims to help attendees with knowledge and support, reinforcing the belief that they are not alone in their experience.
Join us to explore the intersection of faith and fertility, and find encouragement, guidance, and hope as you navigate this path.
