MANILA, Feb. 27, 2015—Being a mother is one of the most challenging roles a woman could ever play in life. In this tough calling, where does God dwell and what role does He play in the lives of mothers?
This is the question that “Catholic Conference 4 Moms” (CC4M), a free online conference that will run from March 6 to 9, aims to answer. Selected presenters from various parts of the globe will be delivering talks in the online conference that is meant to rejuvenate the spirituality of busy mothers.
