Each day includes Holy Mass, Rosary, Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, Confessions, and a Spiritual Talk by a Miles Christi Priest.

Conference speakers:

Dr. Lawrence Feingold (Kenrick-Glennon Seminary, St. Louis, MO)

Richard Thompson (Thomas More Law Center)

Dr. Diane Moczar (Catholic Historian and Author)
