4th Annual International Women's Day Conference
Catholic Charities of Lubbock will celebrate International Women’s Day with a free conference for all women, on Friday, March 7th from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Diocese of Lubbock - Guadalupe Youth and Family Center, located at 101 N. Avenue P. The event will include guest speakers, break-out rooms, and resource booths. A light breakfast, and lunch, will be served. This event is free, but an RSVP is required to Gracie Perez at gracie@cclubbock.org, or Candace Torrez at candace@cclubbock.org by Friday, February 28th.
Honored guests will include women who serve as kinship caregivers. These are grandmothers, aunts, sisters, and even family friends, who are caring for children who are not biologically theirs. The Kinship Navigation Program of Catholic Charities aims to keep children out of the already over-burdened foster care system by providing support, resources, and advocacy for family members caring for family children.
This event is made possible thanks to support from the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women, St. John Neumann’s Women’s Organization, Women of the 100, and the Hispanic Association of Women.
