Good News Conference

“It was like the lid of the world had been peeled away, and suddenly, I could see the sky.”
 
Sally Read’s conversion story touched many of our hearts at the 2024 Good News Conference. Raised in an Atheist household, Sally wasn’t sure where to turn when things in her life seemed hopeless. Then—in small ways—God began showing her the way to the light.

At the 2022 Good News Conference, Britt 'Carter' Fisk shared about the power of placing our trust in God—and how the loss of control in times of suffering offers an opportunity to find true beauty in our lives.

Today we celebrate Pentecost—the day the Holy Spirit came down to His apostles. filled their hearts with hope, and empowered them to spread the word of the Lord. A moment that changed everything.

"They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them."
Acts 2:3-4

Debunking some common misconceptions about the Good News Conference:

- The Good News Conference is not just for spouses. We welcome families, friends, study groups, individuals, and anyone who wants to watch their faith flourish!

- It’s not just incredible Masses. This dynamic conference includes shared meals, art, book signings, confession, inspiring talks, and the opportunity to explore your faith in a new city. This year, many attendees are even extending their stay to experience more of Nashville—and you may just find new friends to explore with along the way!

- The fruits of the conference last far beyond the weekend itself. The talks stay with you. Friendships grow into meaningful Catholic community. And when you return year after year, what began as a conference becomes a place of heartfelt reunions that renew our purpose, strengthen our faith, and draw us closer to God.
