I made it home about an hour ago. The morning was great, with Marcus Grodi talking about his Coming Home Network and Kimberly Hahn talking about Life-Nurturing Love. Then we had the closing Mass. Fr. Benedict Groeschel gave the homily. This made for a great end to the conference.
I had a long time before my plane left, so I stayed behind to pray. I met some people from New Orleans while doing the Stations of the Cross and prayed it with them. They were a great group of people.
I hope to post some more thoughts on the conference as more things come to mind. I did make one observation. The field house where our main sesions were held really looks more like a church than some churches do. The outside is shaped kind of like a church. The inside actually has an apse above the stage where the altar is placed for Mass. No, it doesn’t look that much like a church, but I’m sure there are plenty of churches that look like gymnasiums.
