WINE: Women In the New Evangelization and the Diocese of Bridgeport invite women of all ages to the 2nd Annual WINE: Catholic Women’s Conference on Saturday, April 11, 2026, at St. Matthew’s Catholic Church, Norwalk, CT.
Join women from across the country for a conference filled with inspiration, faith, fellowship, and fun! You can register for Friday & Saturday or the Saturday conference only.
Friday’s Gathering in the Vineyard: Join us Friday evening for a FANTASTIC dinner & FABULOUS concert with Marie Miller! This is a great opportunity to get to know the speakers and various WINE groups from around the country and be fed spiritually and physically. The evening is packed with spiritual entertainment, fellowship & laughter, food & vino, at the Norwalk Inn. (Friday’s event is limited to 100 ladies, so register today and save your spot.)
The conference begins with a Mass celebrated by Bishop Ciaggiano at 8 AM Saturday, followed by time for registration and a few snacks. The conference officially starts at 9:00 a.m. with our ever-endearing emcee, Alyssa Bormes.
Speakers Teresa Tomeo, Kelly Wahlquist, Maria Morera-Johnson, and Dr. Haley Riney will lead us to a renewed understanding of the love of our God and King, the mercy of Jesus, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit! And the beautiful singing (and powerful testimony) of Chelsea Bucci will inspire, amaze, and energize you throughout the day.
Along with inspirational talks, the day will include motivational entertainment, prayer time with prayer teams, confession, adoration, tons of laughter, a fabulous lunch, shopping, CHOCOLATE, and some fantastic door prizes
