A Day of Inspiration and Faith
“A highlight of the day will undoubtedly be the Papal Roundtable, which will reunite EWTN’s conclave team to discuss the interregnum, conclave, and election of Pope Leo XIV, as well as what we can expect from the first American Pontiff,” said EWTN Chairman & CEO Michael P. Warsaw. “Rome-based EWTN Vatican Correspondent Colm Flynn will host our panel, including Montse Alvarado, President of EWTN News; Dr. Matthew Bunson, author of the first book on the new American Pope; Msgr. Roger Landry, National Director of the Pontifical Mission Societies in the U.S., and Paola Flynn, Vatican correspondent for EWTN Noticias, EWTN’s Spanish-language news program.”
In addition, you’ll be inspired by talks from dynamic speakers such as Dr. Ray Guarendi, host of The Doctor Is In, who will offer practical wisdom for Catholic families; and Catherine Hadro, host of EWTN News In Depth, who will discuss how to integrate your faith with your life and work.
Michael P. Warsaw, EWTN Chairman and CEO, will welcome attendees and lead the much-loved family talk with Fr. Joseph Mary Wolfe, M.F.V.A., and the Franciscan Missionaries of the Eternal Word.
All of these events will be broadcast on EWTN the following weekend (www.ewtn.com/everywhere), so check in to relive the fun and to see if EWTN’s cameras caught you and your family enjoying the day as part of the live studio audience!
