 TOP TEN REASONS TO ATTEND

- Listen to nationally recognized speakers who will help you have a richer, deeper and more rewarding faith life
- Walk through the spacious expo hall and see first hand the large variety of parishes, schools and ministries that serve the Diocese of Orlando
- Go shopping and find the latest products, services and books available to help you grow your faith

- Movies – not the kind from Hollywood… but holywood! Enjoy a great selection of faith enriching films that will soothe your soul during the Catholic Film Festival. How Refreshing!
- Concerts – you might think angels are in the house… when a variety of choirs fill the convention center with beautiful and sacred music.
- All of the events are FREE, but you are asked to bring canned food items and jars of peanut butter to share with the less fortunate in our community and in our sister diocese of the Dominican Republic. The pursuit of social justice is an essential component of what it means to be Catholic. Serving the poor and marginalized in our community by providing necessary works of charity and justice, such as collecting and distributing food and other resources, are a direct reflection and mandate of the Gospel call to be fully ‘alive’ in Christ.
- This is a unique opportunity to take a break from the daily stresses of life to celebrate your Catholic faith and to be Alive in Christ!
