  • "I joyfully welcome the fifth annual Together in Holiness conference back to the Diocese of Charlotte. I am grateful that we will offer this conference at two different parishes this year, so that more couples may have the opportunity to encounter Jesus Christ through the sacraments, the presentations, and their time with one another. I encourage all married and engaged couples to attend this conference so you may learn how to live a life of virtue within your own domestic church."
