this year's patroness is. . .
Our Lady of Champion! Our conference will be dedicated to her loving protection, in gratitude for her faithfulness this year.
Fiat will begin with Holy Mass at a gorgeous local parish, after which we will head to the venue location, where our priests will hear Confessions throughout the day. The Sacraments set the tone for the conference!
The remainder of our schedule consists of prayers and devotions, delicious meals to savor, and inspirational and uplifting talks by faithful and fervent Catholics. During free time, our attendees have a chance tour the historic grounds, make new friends and reconnect with the old, and shop from 20 unique Catholic artisans and authors.

our beginnings
Our Fiat Conference began with 25 Catholic women bloggers in 2015 and has blossomed to welcome hundreds of diverse Catholic women annually, from near and far.
This is our tenth annual conference, and we are beyond thrilled (and thanking God!) that we are able to host once again at Kendra's home in Altadena, California, after her neighborhood was affected by the LA fires.
Purchase your tickets to the 10th annual conference here.

Whether you have a van full of children or are still longing for a child; are a cradle Catholic, brand new to the Church, or considering becoming Catholic; whether you stay at home or work full time outside the house — we pray you join us for a day that is truly built from the heart and our prayers.
