UPCOMING CCW EVENTS:
95th Annual Convention of the Harrisburg Diocese Council of Catholic Women
Rejoice and Be Thankful
April 25th
The Diocesan Center
4800 Union Deposit Road
Harrisburg, PA
Each and every day, beauty is born anew in a world. As we begin a new decade, there are many reasons to give thanks especially our family. friends and communities. We can also rejoice in the saving power of our Lord, who gave his life to save us. The radiant glory of Christ’s cross forever invites us to rejoice. Holy Father Pope Francis - “…I realize of course that joy is not expressed the same way at all times in life, especially at moments of great difficulty. Joy adapts and changes, but it always endures, even as a flicker of light born of our personal certainty that, when everything is said and done, we are infinitely loved.”
Let us gather at the 95th convention to rejoice and be thankful with all our sisters in Christ. Come celebrate and “Discover the Power of Joy"
