Guest speaker for the event will be Patty Schneier, whose talk will be title “Unlock the Treasure.” Schneier is a life-long Catholic, housewife, and mother of three from the Archdiocese of St. Louis. She and her husband Larry are active members in their parish, where Patty cantors for Sunday Mass.

Since October 2003, Schneier has been speaking at parishes and Catholic Conferences across the United States, sharing her personal testimony “Prove It, God!” … And He Did. Using song, Scripture and writings from her journal, Schneier shares the story of her challenge to God and his daily response. Results were life-changing, according to Schneier.

“Our faith is inexhaustible in its depth, richness, knowledge, and beauty,” she says. “Are you growing? Are you tapping into the wealth of treasure that awaits you on your journey?”

The morning will conclude around 11:30 a.m. with closing prayer and time to connect with other Catholic women and browse materials to further growth in faith.
