In our inaugural year, the CWF Conference gathered together 900 women from all over Pittsburgh (and beyond).
We heard amazing talks from Helen Alvare, Fr. Dave Pivonka TOR, Fr. Joe Freedy, Mimika Garesche and Megan Mastroianni, who reflected on how we can be BRAVE as we fight the battles life presents to us.
We prayed, we celebrated Holy Mass, we worshipped the Lord in Adoration -- all in a profound spirit of unity. It was a truly inspiring day for the Church Alive! in Pittsburgh, culminating in a surprise visit from our Shepherd, Bishop David Zubik!
Reflect back on the day below, and please pray for the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire Catholic Women's Fellowship Pittsburgh.
