Today the Church celebrates the birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the tradition behind this feast is one of the most beautiful in the entire liturgical year.

Pope Paul VI described the Nativity of Our Lady as "the hope of the entire world and the dawn of salvation" — and that phrase has stayed with us. A dawn is not the full light of day. It is the first quiet sign that the darkness is ending and something new is breaking through. Mary's birth was exactly that: the first glimmer of the redemption the whole of humanity had been waiting for.

She arrived into the world through the faithful prayers of her parents, Anne and Joachim, who had longed for a child for years. She arrived silently, as most great things do. And the world would never be the same.

Happy feast day to the woman who said yes so that we could all be saved. Happy birthday, Our Lady.

We have been getting a lot of questions about CCWC 2027 registration, and we love that so many of you are already planning ahead.

Here is what we can tell you right now: registration is opening soon, and the women who are on our email list will hear about it first. If you have not yet joined the list, link in bio to sign up. It takes about thirty seconds and it is the best way to make sure you do not miss your spot.

In the meantime, start the conversation with the women in your life. Plant the seed. The theme this year is Abide in Me and I in You, and we believe God has something specific to say to the women of Columbus through those words. We hope you will be in the room to hear it.

September often rushes in all at once. The lazy pace of summer gives way almost overnight to packed calendars, earlier alarms, and that particular kind of busy that squeezes out anything not urgent.

Prayer usually gets bumped first, then the quiet, and before long, if we’re not careful, the sense of closeness to God that everything else depends on.

A practical question for you this week: what's the single habit that keeps you grounded when life picks up speed? A short morning offering, a decade of the rosary on the commute, a saint you turn to when it’s overwhelming? Share it in the comments—someone needs to hear your answer.

As we step into September, we find ourselves sitting with the word at the heart of CCWC 2027: abide.

It is a word we do not use much in ordinary conversation anymore, which is part of what makes it so worth unpacking. In John 15, Jesus uses it again and again — remain, stay, dwell, keep close. He is describing not a single dramatic act of faith but a daily, quiet, ongoing choice to stay connected to Him the way a branch stays connected to a vine. Not straining. Not performing. Simply remaining.

What does abiding look like in your life right now? We are going to be spending the next several months exploring that question together, and we cannot think of a better community to explore it with. Welcome to fall.

As the season changes, we keep returning to the verse that will anchor our 2027 conference: Abide in Me and I in you. John 15:4.

Jesus spoke those words to His disciples on the night before He died, gathered around a table, hours away from everything falling apart. And what He asked of them was not heroism or perfect understanding or a flawless track record. He asked them to stay. To remain close. To keep the connection between the branch and the vine intact, because without it, nothing grows and nothing lasts.

That is the invitation He extends to each of us heading into this new season. Not to do more, not to have it all together, but simply to abide. To stay near Him in the morning prayer that happens before the day gets loud, in the small acts of faithfulness that no one sees, in the moments when staying close requires a conscious choice.

We are grateful for this community of women who are choosing, day after day, to remain. See you in 2027.

Today is the feast of Saint Monica, and we cannot let it pass without honoring her.

Monica prayed for her son Augustine for seventeen years before he came back to the faith. Seventeen years of tears, of hoping, of watching someone she loved walk in the opposite direction of God and choosing, every single day, to keep bringing him before the Lord in prayer. She did not give up. She did not stop believing. And Augustine, who went on to become one of the greatest theologians in the history of the Church, credited his mother's prayers as the reason he found his way home.

If you are praying for someone who has walked away — a child, a spouse, a sibling, a friend — Saint Monica is your patron. She has been exactly where you are, and she knows the way through it.

Saint Monica, pray for us.

It has been about six months since we gathered together for CCWC 2026, and we are already deep into planning for 2027.

We cannot share everything yet, but we can tell you that we are praying hard over next year's conference and asking God to bring exactly the right women, the right speakers, and the right theme to that room. He has been faithful to this conference for eighteen years and we have no reason to believe He will stop now.

If you attended this year, thank you. Your presence mattered more than you know. And if you have been on the fence about 2027, consider this your sign. Join our email list for first access to registration details. Link in bio.

As summer closes and fall begins to settle in, we find it is a natural time to take stock — of where we have been, what we are carrying, and what we want to do differently in the months ahead.

The liturgical calendar moves with us in this. September brings a new rhythm, and with it a fresh opportunity to grow in the areas of our faith and our lives that need the most attention.

What is your intention for this fall? Is there a prayer practice you want to build, a relationship you want to invest in, a area of your faith you have been meaning to go deeper in? Share it in the comments and let this community hold it with you.

This Saturday, August 22, the Church celebrates the feast of the Queenship of Mary, observed one week after the Assumption as a beautiful continuation of that solemnity. If she was assumed body and soul into heaven, it follows that she reigns there — not by her own power, but because of whose mother she is and how completely she gave herself to God's will.

The title of Queen can feel distant or abstract until you remember what kind of queen Mary is. She is not a queen who rules from afar. She is the queen who intercedes, who runs toward her children, who appeared to peasant children and asked them to pray for sinners. Her crown is made of stars, but her heart is entirely a mother's.

Wear a crown of your own today, even if no one can see it. You are a daughter of the King.

Our Lady, Queen of Heaven, pray for us.

We have been holding this close for a while now, and we are so glad to finally share it!

The theme for the 2027 Columbus Catholic Women's Conference is: Abide in Me and I in You. John 15:4.

It is one of the most intimate invitations in all of Scripture. Not a command to perform or produce or achieve, just an invitation to remain. To stay close. To let the life of Christ move through us the way sap moves through a vine, quietly and continuously and with more fruit than we could manufacture on our own.

We cannot wait to spend a day with you unpacking what it means to truly abide in Him. More details, including the save the date and registration information, are coming soon. Join our email list to be the first to know. Link in bio.
