Overview

The Annual Florida Respect Life Conference is coming to Jacksonville on October 12-13, 2012!

The Respect Life Conference is a state-wide event sponsored by the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops. Our diocese has the opportunity to host this event only once every seven years. With an outstanding lineup of Pro-Life speakers, the conference will invigorate the Respect Life movement in our diocese, motivate and inspire new leaders and prepare the faithful for the challenges that lie ahead.

The Respect Life Conference will be held at St. Joseph's Catholic Church/Cody Enrichment Center. For more details and to register, please see the information below. There is also a separate Youth Track for those in high-school. Registration for the Youth Track is free!

Attendees of either the Conference or Youth Track receive a free ticket to the Love Come Alive Concert following the conference in the St. Joseph Catholic School Gymnasium (click for details)!

You may contact our office at (904) 308-7474 or email our Respect Life Coordinator, Mary Catherine Damon, at cdamon@dosafl.com with any additional questions or concerns.

We look forward to seeing you there!
