Why Host a Parish Event?
Hosting a parish event to participate in the 2024 Beauty in Christ Virtual Conference is
- A way to gather the women of your parish/cluster
- A way for the women of your parish or cluster to pray together
- A way for the women of your parish or cluster to learn more about the faith and how to “Revive Our Hearts”!
What is the Benefit of Purchasing Group Tickets?
When you purchase enough “codes” for each woman, you give each woman the following:
- A low-cost way of giving women the opportunity to participate in this virtual conference
- Access to the recordings of the speakers and the Q & A sessions so that she can review them at her leisure
- Access to the recording of the speaker that may not have been included in your gathered event (one of the sessions will offer the option of two speakers)
- The ability to access the conference in real time even if she should be unable to participate in the parish event.

As a thank you for registering a Group of 25 we are offering a bundle of Signature Items to the first 25 parishes/clusters to choose Group Registration for 25 registration codes (or more).
