Single Catholics of all ages come to the conference from all over the country – and internationally too! If you’re a single adult, then please join us!

What we want for you:
To meet like-minded fellow Catholics, receive practical aids for growing in faith and forming lasting relationships, and come away inspired and refreshed with the tools you need today!

What you will encounter:
Great speakers, uplifting music, good food, and hundreds of single Catholics seeking to live their faith! Along with the sessions there will be plenty of opportunities for Mass, confession and adoration, as well as time for fun and fellowship!

What to expect:
A great mix of presentations which address current challenges affecting relationships in our culture, times for prayer and reflection, and lots of social opportunities to meet new people and make new (even life-long) friends!

Anchor of Hope

WINE: Women In the New Evangelization invites women of all ages and stages to refresh their hearts at the WINE: Catholic Women's Conference on June 9, 2018. The theme of this year’s conference, inspired by Hebrews 6:19, is Anchor of Hope.

Join women from across the Archdiocese of New Orleans (and all around the country) for a day of inspiration, faith, fellowship, and fun. The doors open at 8:30 AM, allowing time for registration, shopping, and coffee. The conference will begin promptly at 9:30 AM. Our keynote speakers will be ValLimar Jansen, an internationally noted catechetical speaker, singer, composer and storyteller; Renee Bondi, a beautiful singer who shares her quadriplegic journey, bringing the hope of Jesus to all, and Lorraine Hess, New Orleans native, singer, music minister, and recording artist.

The day will include praise and worship music, shopping, prayer, confession, adoration, holy humor, a fabulous lunch, CHOCOLATE, and an opportunity to celebrate 4:00 PM Mass with Archbishop Gregory Aymond. You will leave equipped to persevere in prayer, endure in affliction, and (as Pope Francis compels us) be beacons of hope to all those around you.
