Co-organizer, Annette Hew told CNA that the conference will provide an occasion for “Catholic Homeschoolers to be inspired to continue homeschooling or to begin homeschooling.” Furthermore, she continued, parents will be able to actually see “good Catholic curriculum,” and have the opportunity to meet other homeschooling families.
Fr. Fessio will give two talks to the conference participants, the first is titled, “Walking in the Footsteps of St. Paul,” and the second is “Homeschooling and the Mass.” Other speakers will discuss the Catholic homeschooling journey – from getting started to preparing for college.
The conference will also offer daily Mass, Catholic vendors and an extensive used book and curriculum sale. Hew noted the importance of the book sale in light of uncertain economic times. “The used book sale we are sponsoring is a wonderful place to acquire good Catholic materials at a discounted price, which is so important today in our difficult economy.”
