Culture of Life Conference: October 18-19, 2024
The Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops is thrilled to announce this year's theme for the Annual Florida Culture of Life Conference, inspired by Luke 1:38: "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word." The Angel Gabriel's message troubled Mary, leading her into uncharted waters and a life of unimaginable risk. Yet, she was willing to embrace the risk and trust in God's invitation.
May this conference be a source of inspiration for us to emulate Mary's example, allowing her Son to speak to our hearts, and serve as a transformative experience for individuals and families seeking guidance on essential topics amidst a world filled with conflicting messages.

Catholic Days at the Capitol: March 18-19, 2025
Florida's bishops invite you to join them in Tallahassee for Catholic Days at the Capitol, to advocate for the protection of human life and dignity as lawmakers continue the important work of shaping Florida's laws and future for the common good. Each year during the legislative session, Catholics from across the state gather in Florida's capital city to put their faith and civic responsibility into action.
In addition to the legislative events, the 50th Annual Red Mass of the Holy Spirit will be celebrated by the bishops of Florida at the Co-Cathedral of St. Thomas More on the evening of March 19th, the Solemnity of St. Joseph. We hope to see you there!
