CCW convention a renewal in prayer and purpose

From The Superior Catholic Herald...

Editor’s note: The SDCCW Convention coverage will be published in two parts, with the first installment covering Bishop James P. Power’s presence and the presentation of the Pax Christi Award.

The 72nd convention of the Superior Diocesan Council of Catholic Women brought almost 100 women together for the annual event.

With the theme “A Renewal of Faith-Purpose-Prayer,” it was a time for gathering and celebration with elements both traditionally part of the event as well as new introductions. The convention’s format was extended to two full days this year, with onsite accommodations at Trego’s Heartwood Resort and Conference Center.

Another addition was the inclusion of female high school students, nominated by their parish’s religious education directors, who were acknowledged for their exemplary Catholic lifestyles with Golden Rose Awards.

Bishop James P. Powers joined the convention both days. In his introductory comments, the bishop offered his prayers that “the beautiful surroundings and God’s gift of nature will you help you enter into the joy and work of these days.”
