2nd Annual Pere Marquette Home School and Parent Conference
The 2nd Annual Père Marquette Home School and Parent Conference will be held Friday and Saturday, May 7-8, 2010, at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois. The conference serves home schooling families, as well as parents who wish to pass on the Catholic Faith to their children at home. This year, the conference is expanding the vendor hall, and popular curriculum providers like Kolbe Academy, Mother of Divine Grace, Our Lady of Victory, and Seton Home Study School will be represented.
The conference is honored that Bishop J. Peter Sartain of the Diocese of Joliet will address Catholic parents. Speakers include Laura Berquist, James Stenson, Fr. Frank Phillips, Sr. Helena Burns, and Professor Joseph Pearce. The teen programs will feature a presentation on Lepanto, the Battle and the Poem, by Christopher Check.
