This conference theme, The Gift of Presence and Mercy in the Restoration and Preservation of Health, was chosen in light of the US Bishops’ implementation of Eucharistic Revival. Our Eucharistic Lord is the perfection of “Presence and Mercy” as the definitive source of healing. The audience will include healthcare providers and non-medical people.

This event will start with an opening 8 AM Mass celebrated by Bishop Edward Malesic at St. Albert the Great Church (6667 Wallings Rd., North Royalton 44133). The conference will then be in the Parish Life Center.
