Do you know about the National Catholic Singles Conference?

The National Catholic Singles Conference (NCSC) was created to give single Catholics the opportunity to meet other like-minded singles and learn more about and share their Faith. Talks by dynamic speakers, time for prayer, and various social opportunities create an intense and inspiring weekend! Over the last seven years, since February 2005, over 3,500 singles have participated in conferences in Denver, Chicago, San Diego, Clearwater Beach, FL and San Antonio, TX. In February we held our 10th conference in San Antonio.

The next NCSC is going to be in Denver the weekend of January 27th -29th. You can learn more about it at the National Catholic Singles Conference website www.nationalcatholicsingles.com
