Last year over 80% of the participants registered online and paid by Paypal. You do not have to have a PayPal account in order to register online. Those who registered online will receive a card in the mail with conference information and the web site, similar to the Save the Date card we already sent out. Those who mailed in an application for either of the last two conferences will be mailed a paper registration form. Anyone is free to register in whatever manner they choose. Paper registration forms will be available in your parish office.

If you register by February 10, you will receive a postcard in the mail. If you register through the web site, you will also receive a payment confirmation from Paypal.

Please check the conference web site or the voice mail message as to space availability. Due to fire department regulations, we cannot accept more than 1000 registrations. If you do not pre-register you will pay the late registration fee and may not be guaranteed a lunch.

Our online registration is set up for individual registrations only. You are welcome to input multiple PayPal transactions, or you can print out the registration form and mail in the applications with one check.

Unfortunately, conferences cost money, and a lot of it. Not only must we pay for speaker stipends and travel expenses, but also lunch, facility, publicity, printing, postage and other miscellaneous expenses. We try to keep the cost to a minimum by eliminating extra expenses. Some parishes may help defer the cost to attend. If you are not able to pay the fee, we still want you to attend. Just fill out the registration form, check "guest" and send it in. Free registration does not include lunch, you must purchase that separately.

Yes, the conference will open with a Daily Mass at 8 a.m. Archbishop Coakley will preside over Mass. If you do not arrive in time to attend the Mass, please wait quietly in the break area and enjoy some refreshments. The vendors WILL NOT be open during Mass.

Our contract with the facility includes lunch this year, so we are not able to reduce your conference fee if you do not choose to eat the boxed lunch. The facility prohibits bringing in outside food and beverage, but you are welcome to leave the premises to eat at a local restaurant if you choose. The lunch will include a choice of a turkey, ham or beef sandwich, a bag of chips, a cookie and coffee, tea or water. If you have special dietary needs such as gluten free, vegetarian or no dairy, please let us know and we will make an effort to accommodate you.

Unfortunately we do not have the space to provide this service.

We are unable to have reserved seating at the conference. Registration will open at 7 a.m. so you can arrive in plenty of time to all sit together.

No, you do not have to go. Reconciliation should be a beautiful, unintimidating experience, a sacrament designed by God to let Him carry your heavy burdens. If you do not feel called to attend, feel free to shop our many vendors, enjoy the catered lunch, or visit with the speakers and other attendees. No one will judge you if you do not go.

Yes! The speakers' topics, the worship and praise, the prayers and the fellowship can be appreciated by all Christian denominations, not only Catholics.

You are fully and completely welcome. We want you to come, to take that one step back toward God and His church. Sometimes all it takes is just one step to bring about a major change. Since the inception of the planning efforts, the planning committee has been praying specifically for you, that you will come home.
