Our Mission

Since 2013 the annual Sacred Liturgy Conferences have taught the meaning and rich heritage of the liturgy. The Liturgy of the Eucharist is a rich mystical jewel that can be explored from many different perspectives. Each year a different theme is chosen for the lectures of the conference. In 2017 the theme was “The Call of the Bridegroom” and explored the meaning of the call from the Holy Trinity to enter into relationship with Christ as Bridegroom. In 2018 the theme –”Transfiguration in the Eucharist”—emphasized the miraculous transforming power of the Eucharist. Each year our love, appreciation, and awe for Our Lord in the Eucharist is enriched and enhanced.

This conference is open to anyone interested in the treasures of the Catholic Faith, and promises to be intellectually, liturgically, and spiritually enriching.  Come join us as we deepen our understanding and love for the Holy Eucharist, the Catholic Faith and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
