The Catholic Church has never needed loving critics and critical lovers as it needs us now. If you are someone who loves the Church, values your faith, and knows in your conscience that things MUST change, this conference is for you!

If you’ve been working for renewal and reform, and need a chance to share your joys and struggles with others who will understand, this conference is for you!

If you are a gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender (glbt) Catholic, or love someone who is, this conference is for you!

If you’ve ever wondered, "What can I do to make the Church a better place for everyone," this conference is for you!

Come, pray, learn and discuss your experiences with others who will understand, challenge you and offer support!
