Midwest Catholic Family Conference

The Midwest Catholic Family Conference was this past weekend in Wichita Kansas, It was very hot but there was a very nice turn out. Overall it went very well and we met some very nice people, We volunteered on Saturday for the Child's Conference and we were helping with about 80 3-6 year old kids with Sister Maria Gemma of the Sisters of the Holy Cross Leading us in the room.

Lots of prayer, Confessions, relic's, Adoration, Talks by keynote speakers , Vendors...

Here are a few pictures from the event, we were so busy most of the times pictures were an secondary thought.

God Bless you all

I have been busy with work as of late, and have not had time to really put up some good Posts-

Next weekend we will be attending the Midwest Catholic Family Conference, (Official Website here) while I'm there I plan to meet with various Catholic's from the Midwest including some Clergy / Religious, and I hope to help submit their information to the Lumen Gentleman Motu Proprio Database for those that are interested.

Please pray for a good turnout.

Family Affairs call my duty this weekend but I promise to return with some new Church pictures...

Until then enjoy this tidbit:

The term Catholic was defined by the Roman Emperor Theodosius on February 27 AD 380 in the Theodosian Code XVI.i.2:

"It is our desire that all the various nations which are subject to our clemency and moderation, should continue the profession of that religion which was delivered to the Romans by the divine Apostle Peter, as it has been preserved by faithful tradition and which is now professed by the Pontiff Damasus and by Peter, Bishop of Alexandria, a man of apostolic holiness. According to the apostolic teaching and the doctrine of the Gospel, let us believe in the one Deity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in equal majesty and in a holy Trinity. We authorize the followers of this law to assume the title Catholic Christians; but as for the others, since in our judgment they are foolish madmen, we decree that they shall be branded with the ignominious name of heretics, and shall not presume to give their conventicles the name of churches. They will suffer in the first place the chastisement of divine condemnation and the second the punishment of our authority, in accordance with the will of heaven shall decide to inflict."

Now in it's 8th year, the Annual Midwest Catholic Family Conference increases spiritual awareness and better prepares it's attendees to face the challenges of living in an ever more secular world. We are all members of the Body of Christ, all part of this great family called the Catholic Church. The Midwest Catholic Family Conference challenges all Catholics to learn more about their Faith.
