News - Florida Culture of Life Conference RSS Feed

Registration is now open for the Congreso Pro Vida. This national conference is being hosted this year by Archbishop Thomas G. Wenski of the Archdiocese of Miami on October 29 to 31 at St. Thomas University in Miami Gardens. Reserve your ticket at www.congresoprovida.com. The Congreso Pro Vida will be held this year in lieu of the annual Florida Culture of Life Conference.

The annual Florida Culture of Life Conference, formerly known as the state Respect Life Conference, keeps with Church teaching that all human life has dignity and is to be protected. This year's conference, hosted by the Diocese of Palm Beach, will be held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As Pope John Paul II wrote, "We need to bring the Gospel of life to the heart of every man and woman and to make it penetrate every part of society" (Evangelium Vitae, no. 80). Therefore, each October, the Catholic Church in the U.S. celebrates Respect Life Month with the goal of helping Catholics to integrate the respect life message into the life of parishes, schools and ministries. A new website developed by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, respectlife.org, provides resources to assist Catholics with building year round a culture that cherishes every human life.

You are invited to attend the 2019 Statewide Florida Respect Life Conference "In the Heart of Our Mother" in historical St. Augustine. National and state speakers will inspire and educate you with their expertise, sharing powerful fact-filled lectures that will lead us to a nurturing love which we can bring to others.
