Keynote Title: From Clown Socks to Crazy Socks: St. John Paul II’s Insights about Women, Culture, and Our Maternal Vocation
Description: In Christifidelis Laici 51, Pope Saint John Paul II noted that “women have the task of assuring the moral dimension of culture.” He locates the primary place for women’s role in evangelization in the care of the most vulnerable, especially in the family and in support of families. This talk will consider how each one of us is called to shape our culture in the particular circumstances of her vocation.
