In the coming days, I will be posting a few highlights from the 2014 Catholic Writers Conference Live and Catholic Marketing Network Trade Show. It was a whirlwind of activities, presentations, daily Mass, Confession, Adoration and even an opportunity to venerate a first class relic from St. John Paul II.

  1. Thank you for your feedback, Janet! It is good to be appreciated! The conference organizers also get so much out of the conference that it truly makes all the hard work worthwhile! Blessings…

  2. It is good to know you got home safe! Just want to say thank you to all the CWG leadership for the work you put into the conference. I came home with a renewed sense of purpose, not for the writing alone, but for the spiritual purpose of my writing. Which could be summarized, perhaps I will summarize it with my last breath, as Love. The sense of this was never violated at the conference–ego or personal satisfaction or financial gain was not substituted even once (although we joked around a bit about the not writing for money part, since most of us could use a little, in case a monitoring angel would please carry that message to the Lord asap). So I am getting to work, after reviewing today’s gospel, as one presenter recommended. Thank you so much to all!
