For me, the range of topics covered was very good. I found the pro-life movement has really matured in its scope and how it handles things. The peace and calmness in the face of the horror of the culture of death was what I needed to hear and experience. In the midst of all that is happening, it was good to hear that grace triumphs. I could say many more things about the conference, particularly the importance of understanding eugenics. I enjoyed that each session opened with prayer, and I was inspired to hear some of the small but important triumphs in the struggle.

It was simply a fantastic conference – better than any other I’ve ever attended. I enjoyed being able to listen to all the speakers, rather than having to choose only certain ones. I was encouraged that the conference encouraged unity among all pro-lifers in Canada. We have to put an end to the in-fighting that weakens our efforts and supports the work of our enemies

I had a hard time even getting to the conference, so my experiences there were especially memorable. In many ways, this was the best thing i’ve done in the entire school year. I found the discussion of eugenics to be particularly relevant. Before you can bring these discussions to the public sphere, you have to be able to define them, and I found the conference really helpful in that regard. I hope to bring some of the information from the conference into my own research at university. There was a great wealth of information made available at the conference. These are people who benefit others by their knowledge and experience.

The day I spent at the conference was the most enjoyable day of the year for me. There was a spiritual tone and prayerful attitude that pervaded the proceedings. The information provided was very useful, but what impressed me most was the strong homage to Our Lady that was displayed.
