This year’s Florida Culture of Life Conference is hosted by the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee and will be held October 13-14, 2023 at St. Sylvester Parish in Gulf Breeze.
This annual conference, jointly sponsored by the State Pro-Life Coordinating Committee and the Florida Catholic Conference, serves to unite, strengthen, and help form Catholics who wish to be better advocates for human life and dignity. Its goals are to highlight Church teachings on issues of importance to the Catholic Church, promote dialogue, and inspire action that transforms our culture, so that all life from conception to natural death is protected in law and welcomed in love. Topics will include the Church’s response to societal injustices such as the death penalty, abortion, human trafficking, and mental health.
All ministry leaders, parishioners, and community members who seek to become more effective witnesses to the culture of life are invited to this special event.
More information, including registration for the conference, the conference schedule and speakers, can be found on the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee website.
