Donors

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, endorsed by Archbishop Coakley, founded by a small group of central Oklahoma women in 2006.

In 2007, the first year of the conference, over 600 women from across the state came in a blinding snowstorm to St. Monica in Edmond. In 2008 we moved the event to Bishop McGuinness High School, hoping that the change in venue would better support the expected crowd of over 900 women from Oklahoma and surrounding states. While we were thrilled with our success, it was evident that we had once again outgrown our venue.

For the past three years our conference has been held at the Clarion Conference Center at I-40 and Meridian in Oklahoma City. We expect over 600 women will attend this year. While we are excited to be meeting the needs of the Catholic women of Oklahoma, this larger venue brings some challenges. Like all large commercial venues, there is a considerable facility fee, as well as a requirement that we purchase all food and beverage from their in-house catering service. A simple serving of pastries and fruit for each attendee in the morning will cost over $4,000, coffee is $30 a gallon and bottled water and soda pop costs $3.50 each. The simple box lunch costs us over $16.

We are committed to keeping the registration fee at an affordable rate, and will not turn away anyone who wants to attend but is unable to pay as long as there is room. We know that God is truly blessing this conference and the women who attend, and we ask for your help in continuing this mission.
