“Treasuring Womanhood,” the seventh annual Indiana Catholic Women’s Conference, will take place on Sept. 18 at a new location in Indianapolis.

For the first time, the conference will be held at the O’Malia Performing Arts Center at Cathedral High School, 5225 E. 56th St., in Indianapolis.

Presented by the Marian Center of Indianapolis and the archdiocesan Office for Pro-Life Ministry, the conference will feature three nationally known women as keynote presenters:

  • Dominican Sister Mary Assumpta Long, the prioress general of the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, in Ann Arbor, Mich., promotes the reclamation of a truly Catholic culture through education and love for Christ and his Church.
  • Terry Polakovic, the co-founder, executive director and chief editor of ENDOW—Educating on the Nature and Dignity of Women—empowers women to discover their God-given dignity and helps them understand their role in transforming society.
  • Barbara McGuigan, an EWTN radio host who founded Voice of Virtue International in 2001, inspires people to commit to the Church’s message of virtuous living and chaste love.

Msgr. Joseph F. Schaedel, vicar general and the pastor of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Parish in Indianapolis, is the celebrant and homilist for the conference Mass.
