WINE: Catholic Women’s Conference
The WINE: Catholic Women’s Conference is a unique event designed specifically for all women– married, single, and consecrated.
Sponsored by WINE: Women In the New Evangelization, a national Catholic women's ministry, the WINE: Catholic Women’s Conference is the perfect opportunity for women to gather to be refreshed and renewed in their faith.
For the past seven years, WINE has hosted a WINE: Catholic Women's Conference in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, each year selling out with over 1,200 participants. In 2016 & 2018, WINE worked with the Archdiocese of New Orleans to hold two very successful NOLA WINE: Catholic Women's Conferences. In October of 2017, WINE partnered with the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to hold the first-ever National Catholic Women's Conference, which sold out weeks in advance at 1,250 people! In September 2018, we held the first-ever WINE: Catholic Women’s Conference in New Jersey! On March 1 & 2, 2019, WINE celebrated our 5th annual WINE Conference in Minneapolis! In October 2019, the WINE: Catholic Women’s Conference was hosted by the Diocese of St. Cloud in Alexandria to a sold-out crowd! February 2020 the 6th annual WINE conference in Minneapolis brought together over 800 women! 2021-2022 brought many online events but also in-person WINE conferences in Baton Rouge, LA, and Midland, TX.
Throughout the day, various speakers address Catholic perspectives on current news and issues affecting women and how we, as women of faith, can respond with an authentic feminine presence to transform every aspect of life and society. Each year has a specific theme designed to emphasize one of the many aspects of life as a Catholic woman. In addition to Mass, keynote presentations, and breakout sessions, women will have the opportunity to go to confession, pray with prayer teams, visit the various exhibit tables, and meet other Catholic women from throughout the area and beyond. Leaving this event, women will be renewed in their unique dignity and mission as Catholic women and be better equipped to bring the light and joy of the Gospel to their families, communities, friendships, and the world.
