Imagine the difference we could make if each of us invited just one person to the Christ Our Life Conference. To help spread the word, we’re giving away TWO tickets to this year’s conference, which is September 26-27, in Des Moines at the Casey’s Center (formerly Wells Fargo Arena). To enter, tag someone in the comments you’d like to bring to the conference. We’ll choose one winner to receive two free tickets – one for the person who commented and one for the person tagged.

Contest Reminder: Please be aware of potential scammers or fake accounts related to our giveaways. Christ Our Life will never ask for credit card or payment information, and contest winners will be notified directly through a private message from our official account.

Here’s another fun fact about the Christ Our Life Conference. Not only will you hear world-class speakers, but you can also visit more than 50 world-class vendors. Religious organizations, media groups and charitable organizations will be represented. Catholic merchandise, such as apparel, books and religious items, will be available for purchase. And don’t forget to visit each speaker’s booth. It’s a great opportunity to support these Catholic businesses and organizations.

Getting ready for a new school year usually means shopping for supplies: notebooks, folders and other classroom essentials. If you are sending someone off to college, your list may also include sheets, towels and dorm room décor. Consider adding one more meaningful item: a Christ Our Life ticket. The conference includes a special breakout session for high school and college students, and admission is free for everyone aged 23 and under. A livestream option is also available for those who are unable to attend in person. You will still need to get a ticket on our website so we can track attendance numbers.

May God bless all the students, teachers and parents as they begin the new school year.

We still need volunteers!
It takes more than 200 volunteers to make sure the Christ Our Life Conference runs smoothly. Volunteer opportunities range from set-up and/or take down, greeters, ticket takers, being an usher in the arena (where you can still listen to speakers while you volunteer), helping guide the line for confession or sitting in adoration (what a peaceful way to spend your time). If you are high school age, you can earn service hours before or after you attend the high school/college breakout.
