The Napa Institute’s tenth annual summer conference will be done virtually this year on August 14 and 15, 2020. There would normally be a $189 registration fee to attend this virtual conference, but all Basilica of Saint Mary parishioners can attend for free. Scroll below for the instructions on how to access the conference content.
Join speakers such as Cardinal George Pell, Scott Hahn, Curtis Martin, George Weigel, Arthur Brooks, Fr. Michael Gaitley, Robert P. George, Matt Fradd, Ross Douthat and many more as they address issues ranging from socialism to how to answer our call to evangelization in a hostile world. In these unprecedented times in our nation, we must view all the critical issues through a Catholic lens, with great hope in Christ.
