St. Teresa of Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) will be present at the 2023 Idaho Catholic Women's Conference!
Find her relic towards the front of the church, to the right of the altar, near the baptismal font. We hope you will take some time during the conference to venerate this powerful, cherished saint. Her intercession has already been felt by our planning committee during the preparations for this conference.
Even if you are not joining us in person for the conference, we hope you will join us in praying with her for the hearts of all who will attend, for protection over our speakers and attendees, and for smooth sailing with all the technology involved in making the Conference possible.
