It all began with our Catholic Family Life Conference 14 years ago. That was the
beginning of a journey that would change our lives forever. It was the beginning
of Catholic Family Ministries. It was through the plea of Pope John Paul II for families to “become what you are, the domestic church and the heart of the
world.” We took these words to heart and began to watch videos, listen to tapes,
read conversion stories, study apologetics and grow as a faith community.

Through the inspired vision of Bob LeBlanc, the idea of a Catholic Family Life
Conference featuring the apologists and converts we were studying, began to
take shape.

It would be a family conference with ministries for the whole family, world-
renowned speakers, sacraments, priests and religious, music, camping, and
opportunity for families to grow in their faith and meet and support other families
with the same desires. Through God’s abundant Grace, this vision became a reality.

Through the years our babes and toddlers have become our youth and young adults. They are stepping into positions of service and leadership within CFM and raising children of their own in the spirit of CFM. This Conference has
become a family life tradition - an event not to be missed, an event that summer holidays are planned around.

We have watched with amazement at the Lord’s work. We have heard tremendous conversion stories of physical, emotional and spiritual healing. We have heard of renewed faith and strength. Through it all we have experienced the cross and the victory of the cross as we watch families faithfully attend and grow in their understanding of our beautiful, good, and true, Catholic faith.

This is an event we want to share with everyone - single or married, toddlers to grandparents. The speakers are faithful and inspirational. The conference is filled with Catholic traditions and devotions. We would love to meet you there.

We would like to welcome you to
