Welcome from Bishop Thomas Olmsted, Diocese of Phoenix
The soul of the family is under tremendous attack.
Marriage and family life are deteriorating and singles struggle to find love in the midst of the hookup culture. Many wonder if real love still exists: Where can I find it? How can we rekindle it? How do we raise good children in the midst of it?
If your love-life or family-life could use a divine spark, don't miss the Catholic LoveLife Conference. More than 70 speakers will offer Free, short, and impactful presentations for teens, young adults, singles, married couples, and parents. Fortify your home and rediscover the beauty and goodness of God's plan for human love in your life. (CLICK IMAGE or HERE for more info or to register)
- Registration & Conference are FREE. "Premium Pass" is OPTIONAL.
LET US PRAY...
DISCUSSIONS START THURSDAY!
Though prayer is one of the essentials of a thriving faith, we often feel as if we’re talking to ourselves. Or, worse, we feel like we’re talking to no one at all. How can something so vital to the faith be so elusive? In Prayer: Finding Intimacy with God Dr. Tim Gray masterfully uses the ancient Church's tradition of lectio divina to show you the simple steps for making prayer an effort of love and intimacy with God.
