Gather Us In 2009 was a smash success!
Nearly 800 women from around the Worcester Diocese and beyond gathered at the DCU Center in Worcester, MA on Saturday, November 7, 2009 for the Gather Us In Conference. Women enthusiastically prayed, sang, laughed, cried and fellowshipped together during keynote addresses, workshops and liturgy at the end of the day.
The conference was a great success and we look forward to a wonderful conference in 2011!
