Catholic Conference in Denver





Thursday, February 25 - Saturday, February, 27, 2010:

One of our main reasons for being in Denver was to bring our media to the participants of the "Living the Catholic Faith" conference (http://www.archden.org/lcfc2010/). After some downtime at the beautiful Mother Cabrini shrine (http://www.mothercabrinishrine.org/) in the Rocky Mountains on Thursday morning, we proceeded to downtown Denver to set up our booth at the convention center. It was exciting to be there amongst other exhibitors. The projected attendance for the conference was about 4000 people! On Friday, we began our day with mass celebrated by Archbishop Chaput. Most Catholic schools were closed that day so many teachers attended the conference. It was great to see many catholic teachers present and learning more about their faith. On Saturday, we had many Hispanics in the Denver area. Our bilungual Mass that morning was celebrated by Auxiliary Bishop Conley. Many conference attendees stopped by our booth to pick up our Spanish titles and catalogs. Our Spanish media were truly in great need here! During the conference, we were also happy to meet one of our Pauline family members based in Colorado who is perpetually professed in the Holy Family Institute (http://www.alberione.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=67&Itemid=115). We were also able to have dinner and catch up with other friends in Denver. Throughout the week, we enjoyed visiting various book centers in Denver to share with them our 2010 catalog as well as our different media. So overall...we really had an "action-packed" week! St. Paul, help us to spread God's love to the ends of the earth!

What kinds of things are you doing to LIVE your Catholic faith?
