STEWARDSHIP OFFICE The annual conference of the International Catholic Stewardship Conference will be held on September 16- 19 in Chicago. The theme is “With Hearts of Fire”, drawing from Luke’s account of meeting Jesus along the road to Emmaus. While this is an expensive conference, it features the best speakers from around the country and it is being held close to home. To reduce costs, Sr. Laura Goedken has arranged for us to stay at the Cenacle Retreat Center for $65 per night per person for a single room and $45 per night per person for a double room – opposed to $250 per night at the hotel. We can park our cars there and take public transportation to the conference, which is at the Hyatt Regency Chicago.
