Our beloved Pope John Paul II was a man made for our times, and CCWF in this inaugural conference aspires to getting his message out in layman's terms. He wrote extensively over the years on the authentic role of women in today's society. Included is his Apostolic Letter Mulieris Dignitatem, On the Dignity and Vocation of Women, written in 1988. Who are we? Who are we meant to be? Where is the substantiation for our role in society to be found? You will open the door to a better understanding of the true vocation of women, as well as gain insight into how to put these ideals into practice: in the home, workplace, and in relationships.
