2025 Family Conference: "Domine Jesu Christe, qui Mariae et Joseph subdistis"

Join us for the 2025 Family Conference, a Catholic event rooted in the teachings of the Church, celebrating the sacred vocation of family life. This year’s theme, "Domine Jesu Christe, qui Mariae et Joseph subdistis, domesticam vitam ineffabilibus virtutibus consecrasti: fac nos utriusque auxilio, Familiae sanctae tuae exemplis instrui; et consortium consequi sempiternum...", calls us to emulate the Holy Family through Christ’s grace. Held on June 28-29, 2025, at Holy Innocents Catholic School in Long Beach, CA, this conference features inspiring guest speakers, Holy Mass, and confessions.
