From The Superior Catholic Herald...
 

The 73rd annual Superior Diocesan Council of Catholic Women’s Convention was opened by President Bridgette Adler invoking the relationships that had brought women to St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Rice Lake.

“We have been brought here by relationship,” she said, “with our councils, our council sisters and God.”

Under the theme “Preparing for the Journey Home,” the convention covered two days with the first, Monday, June 19, including a board meeting and social. The highlights for Tuesday, June 20, were keynote speaker Marge Fenelon, Mass with Bishop James P. Powers and the announcement of the Pax Christi Award winner.

In her president’s message, Adler expanded on the days’ theme: “Before anyone undertakes a journey, he or she must anticipate and fortify for the tasks ahead. As we set out on our journey to God’s kingdom, the true goal of our life, we can strengthen ourselves through fellowship … celebrating holy Mass together and being inspired by our wonderful speakers. “We can reflect with wonder that ‘no eye has seen nor ear has heard what God has prepared for those who love him.’”

Keynote Speaker

In Marge Fenelon’s keynote, “Spirituality of Womanhood: Living our Catholic Faith in a Unique Feminine Way,” she focused on Marian scenes from the Bible and the profound qualities the Blessed Virgin exemplified.
