25th Annual Conference Update

Please be advised that the location and dates for our In His Name Conference, our 25th major conference, have not been determined to date.

WE ARE TEMPORARILY SUSPENDING REGISTRATIONS FOR THE IN HIS NAME MAJOR CONFERENCE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

The Hotel Elegante Conference and Event Center has been purchased and is no longer available. The new ownership will be keeping 300 rooms for commercial use. The rest of the hotel will be converted into residential, including the conference areas. Currently the restaurants are closed, there is no audio visual available, and 160 staff including our sales reps have been laid off. Quite a surprise!

In the meantime, we have decided to schedule some smaller 2 or 3-day events in local parishes with 2 or 3 speakers for each event. At this time, we are in the early stages of this process. We will post the information as we can. We think these smaller events can be very effective.

When we know God’s plan for the conference, we will move forward with it. We all know that the closure of a hotel is not something that will stop God from His will.

We apologize for any inconvenience and we will keep new information posted as we know. We definitely plan to move forward with the conference! In fact, we believe it will be a great celebration of our Catholic faith.

God bless and please keep the conference and other events in prayer.

Our Prayer Motto
