WINE: Women In the New Evangelization invites women of all ages and stages to refresh their hearts at the WINE: Catholic Women’s Conference on February 10, 2018. The theme of this year’s conference, inspired by Hebrews 6:19, is Hope: An Anchor for the Soul.
Join women from across the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis (and all around the country) for a day of inspiration, faith, fellowship, and fun. The doors open at 8:30 AM, allowing time for registration, shopping, and coffee. The conference will begin promptly at 9:30 AM. Our keynote speakers will be Sr. Ann Shields, an internationally noted speaker, author, and member of the Servants of God’s Love charismatic religious community; Sonja Corbitt, Catholic scripture teacher, host of Bible Study Evangelista on Breadbox Media, and author of the WINE-recommended book Unleashed; and Jaime Thietten, Catholic musician, and storyteller.
The day will include praise and worship music, shopping, prayer, confession, adoration, holy humor, a fabulous lunch, CHOCOLATE, and an opportunity to celebrate 4:00 PM Mass with Archbishop Bernard Hebda. You will leave equipped to persevere in prayer, endure in affliction, and (as Pope Francis compels us) be beacons of hope to all those around you.

Meet Our Musicians
A Pro-Life Advocate, Artist, Wife and Daughter with a powerful story about her journey to Pro-Life, her calling and her music ministry. Ultimately, the most endearing aspect of Jaime Thietten (pronounced Teet’n) is not so much about what she’s accomplished or her powerful soaring vocal abilities, but more about her heart and soul, her exuberant love of life and her passion for the world around her.
Raised in Twin Falls, Idaho, the second of three siblings, music quickly became her best outlet for self-expression. She started singing at 2, and performing solos publicly by 13. She soon discovered that through song, not only could she find meaning for her own life, but also inspire and encourage others.
Jaime uses her music to nurture those seeking forgiveness, to fill the hurting with hope,
and to encourage compassion among people everywhere. You may know her best, for her immensely powerful pro-life song, “My Chance,” which tells of a woman looking back at her one chance—the child they were going to name “Chance”—to have a baby. The song brings a compassionate and non-judgmental attention to an emotional trauma that can last a lifetime. Although she has never experienced an abortion herself, God has put upon her heart a passion to help those who have gone through this devastating experience to heal and find hope.
Vicki Kueppers
Vicki Kueppers learned how to harmonize with her three sisters at the age of five. After a start in musical theater, she went on to tour and record with her sisters with a big band. Vicki studied music in college and gained valuable experience during her time as Miss Minnesota. Since 1987, Vicki has been performing, touring and recording with the award-winning 5-voice vocal group, Voice Trek.
Caroline Metzinger
A native of Australia, Caroline studied classical and jazz voice at the Queensland University of Technology. She came to Minnesota in July 1996 to serve with NET Ministries for 4 years. It is there she met her husband Nathan. They were married in April 2000 at the Cathedral of Saint Paul, which is still their parish. They live in Woodbury with their 6 children. Caroline is also the founding member of the band Sonar, a Catholic band based in the Twin Cities which plays for youth events throughout the Midwest. Her instruments are voice, keyboard, and guitar.
