Some fruits from our last Conference Include many stories of conversion of heart, new converts to the Faith and a young man saying “yes” to his call to the priesthood. These are the ones we hear about, as many others are blessed with the special graces from this weekend of prayer and sacraments. For those of us who cannot make a pilgrimage to a Shrine of Our Lady or a family reunion, this Conference is an opportunity to bring family and friends together. “Mary is a woman, who brings people together.” It is our prayer that the Marian Conference is an opportunity to bring everyone closer to Jesus through Mary.

The Marian Conference embraces the Sacraments, Holy Scripture, prayer and through the Church offers tools for our journey of spiritual conversions and salvation. The experience of a Marian Conference is a return to the Sacred, a retreat, a reunion of pilgrims and families from all over the country and days of recollection and reconciliation with God. Never abandon Mary, the Mother of Jesus, she will never abandon you. Our children come home and the wounds in our families are healed through Mary. Mary saves families, saves marriages and she rescues those in distress. Please let Our Lady intercede for you and those you hold close to you. When we “pray to Mary”, we are really asking Our Lady to “pray for us” since she can do nothing herself, but with and through her Son, Jesus. Our Lord will never say “no” to His Mom.

We bring you the best speakers. You will hear the truth in Catholic doctrine, theology, Scripture, Tradition, and the teachings of the Fathers of the Church. You will hear of God's healing power in the Eucharist. You will be encouraged, satisfied, and full of hope and truth in this grace-filled weekend. Let the Conference weekend at the Adam's Mark be a winter retreat, a new start, new resolutions in living our life as Jesus lives in us.
