The mission of Abide has always existed: to bring people into a deeper relationship with Christ.

In 2019, the Abide Women’s Conference was the beginning of a story God was writing. Since then, it has helped over 1,800 women in Acadiana and beyond encounter Christ in a powerful way.

Abide Catholic Ministries, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, now exists to continue that same mission on a broader scale.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗻𝗼𝗻𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄?
It is simple: the ability to continue to say “yes” to fostering more moments like the Women’s Conference.

Abide Catholic Ministries was a next step in strengthening who we are so that we that can keep serving, saying yes, and helping even more people meet Jesus. ✝️

A small update with a big purpose 🤍

As Abide continues to grow, we’re bringing everything together under a new name for this page: 𝐀𝐛𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬—the home of all that we do, including the Abide Catholic Women’s Conference.

Abide Catholic Ministries is a non-profit rooted in one mission: to proclaim the image of God as the Good Father, who longs to accompany us in every part of our journey, and to foster a deeper friendship with Jesus through prayer and authentic encounters with His love.

The Women’s Conference isn’t going anywhere! It remains at the heart of Abide Catholic Ministries and will continue as the same beautiful, conference you know and love.

In the coming days, this page will transition to reflect the name Abide Catholic Ministries, while continuing to share everything related to the conference and beyond.

Nothing you need to do. Just stay with us here.

We’re so grateful you’re part of this community.

As Saturday’s adoration came to a close, the night felt like it could gently unwind.

The beautiful sounds of the string quartet filled the lounge downstairs, giving women the ability to come and go as they felt lead. Lingering in prayer in the Chapel, reflecting on what the Lord was starring in their hearts with a friend, or simply allowing the music to carry them into rest.

It was a peaceful and incredibly moving way to end such a sacred night.

We are so grateful to Summit Physical Therapy for sponsoring the special moment.

This was one of the sweetest surprises from our retreat.

We pulled 50 names for a painting class with Harleigh Leonards Designs, and it turned into something truly special. A room full of women painting crosses, sharing conversations, and taking a quiet moment to reflect. Such a beautiful way to explore prayer through art.

Long before the first talk began or the first song was sung, this weekend was being prepared in prayer.

Every flower arranged, every flickering candle, every table set was done with love for the women who would gather here.

You are not just attendees. You are daughters of God, worthy of beauty, care, and a place to rest in His presence.

It was an honor to prepare this space for you.

Few things compare to the grace of women gathering together to encounter Jesus.

Throughout the weekend, we shared laughter across tables, a couple singalongs with our emcees, gallons upon gallons of coffee, truth-telling declarations of prayer, and conversations that reminded us we were never meant to walk this journey alone. In every moment, big and small, God was present and moving among us.

Our hearts are so full of gratitude for every woman who joined us this year. Thank you for showing up, for opening your hearts, and for choosing to abide with us! 🤍
