The Northwest Catholic Family Education Conference, Nurturing Catholic Family Life, will be May 1-2, 2009 in Tukwila, WA (just south of Seattle).

Fr. Gerard Saguto, F.S.S.P. (who was ordained with one of my brother-in-laws and happened to be a fellow student at Christendom when I was there!) will be one of the speakers, giving a presentation on “Salt and Talent.”

I can’t wait to finally be able to meet Meredith, one of the very first Catholic bloggers/friends I met online!! =) She will be speaking as well, giving a presentation on “Nurturing Catholic Family Life by Living the Liturgical Year.” Doesn’t it sound wonderful?!

I am also looking forward to hearing Dr. Joan Cotter, author of Right Start Mathematics, speak about “How Children Learn Best — Keeping Brain Research in Mind” and “Why Mathematics Is Important for Our Children’s Futures”. Math has been a challenge this year, so hopefully I will come how with some new tips that will help.

Other speakers include Fr. Jim Kelleher, S.O.L.T., Camille Pauley, Carrie Thienes, and more.

I’ll be traveling to the conference with a friend of mine, and staying with another friend I haven’t seen in forever! I can’t wait!!! =) This year, I’ll make sure not to leave any valuables in my car, since I learned my lesson last year!

If you’d like to attend, you can register online or by mail. They are offering a special discounted rate for the remainder of March in honor of St. Joseph, so be sure to register soon!

Will I be seeing any of you there??

    Sounds great! I’ll have to check with my DH but doubt that we have room in our budget for this opp. Do they offer CD tracks of the conference?

    Lena ~ I don’t know if they are planning to offer CD’s or not?? That would be great if they did!! It would be so wonderful if you could come!! I wonder if anyone else in your area is planning on making the trip… Splitting the travel costs with others would make it much more affordable, though it is still quite far for you to travel… You’ll have to let me know if you go!!!

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
