It all started With…

Our inaugural Conference in February of 2019 where 600 women from around Acadiana and beyond gathered, connected, rested and were renewed. We are grateful for your support and encouragement and we look forward to welcoming new and returning attendees in February 2022!

Where is it?

The Conference takes place at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Lafayette, LA. The absolute best way to experience the Conference and “gather, connect, rest, and renew” is to book your two-night (minimum) stay so you can enjoy all the perks of “abiding” onsite--invite your friends and family members and plan to settle in for the weekend without the stress of traveling back and forth.

What can I expect at the Conference?

Once you purchase your ticket and reserve your hotel room for the weekend, you can look forward to:

  • Adoration 

  • Opportunities for confession

  • Mass with Bishop Douglas Deshotel and other clergy

  • Talks given by nationally-recognized speakers

  • Breakout sessions

  • Sharing meals with your sisters in Christ

  • Beautiful praise and worship music

  • A fun-filled Saturday night

  • Sunday brunch

  • Browsing the Exhibitors’ merchandise 

  • Visiting with old and new friends

  • Rest and relaxation in the comfort of your hotel room

Who is it for?

  • All women, ages 19 and over

  • Non-mobile, nursing infants only

Mission

The Abide Women’s Conference is an opportunity for Catholic women of Acadiana and beyond to gather, connect, rest, and renew in their identity as daughters of God.

Vision

The vision of Abide is for all Catholic women to know the joy of friendship and community in their walk of faith so they may evangelize others in the confidence of His love.
