The Catholic group Courage International hosted its 30th annual Courage and EnCourage conference last week, which aimed to offer men and women with same-sex attraction inspiration from the organization's founder, the late Father John Harvey.
"This year we had the opportunity to remember the legacy of Father Harvey who is our founding director," said Ann Schneible, communications director for Courage International.
"This is really important, especially for our new members who joined since he stepped down from the position in 2008," she told CNA.
More than 300 people attended the conference, which was hosted on July 12-15 at Villanova University in Philadelphia, Pa., where Harvey was born. The event also recognized what would have been the priest's 100th birthday on April 14. He died in 2010.
