Published: November 20, 2018

The diocesan Respect Life Office will host its first Hearts for Life Conference for adults at St. John Catholic Center in Little Rock. This event, which will coincide with the Weekend for Life for high school youth, was created to offer participants pro-life speakers, time for prayer and inexpensive and convenient lodging prior to the eucharistic procession and Mass for Life on Jan. 20.

The conference will be held from 5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 19 to 9 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 20. The cost is $40 per person, which includes lodging, dinner Saturday evening and breakfast Sunday morning. The conference fee without overnight accommodation is only $20 per person. Additionally, participants have the option to purchase a boxed lunch for Sunday after Mass. This lunch is $8 and must be ordered at the time of registration. 

The registration deadline is Jan. 7. However, space is limited. Please register early. Download and return the registration form with fee to the address provided. For more information, contact Catherine Phillips, respect life director, at (501) 664-0340, ext. 326.

Each year, the Mass for Life and related activities are held to mark the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions that legalized abortion in the United States in 1973. Through the events, Catholics statewide have the opportunity to come together and pray for an end to abortion and for all life, from conception to natural death, to be protected and respected.
