NCSC Chicago 2009

NCSC Chicago 2009

Join us for the 7th National Catholic Singles Conference in Chicago!

Don't have anything going on Valentine's Day? Come and hear top Catholic speakers discuss the issues affecting singles in today's world. How do I improve my relationships with friends, family and my future spouse? How do I discern what else God wants for my life in the future and what can I do to live a happier, more fulfilled single life now?

The conference falls on President's Day weekend as well, so stay a day after and visit the Shedd Aquarium, The Art Institute of Chicago, Sears Tower, Navy Pier, Millenium Park or just relax with friends. As usual we will also have optional social events scheduled after the conference on Sunday afternoon. (Great news: We've been able to reduce the registration cost this year by holding it at a parish with a hotel nearby.) It's coming up quickly and space is limited so register now!
