Our History
The Catholic Women’s Conference of Denver (501c3) was founded in 2017 after a grassroots effort to bring the Truth to Catholic women in the Archdiocese of Denver was successful. Angee Igielinski and Elizabeth Petrucelli, brought to their then pastor Monsignor Edward Buelt, a proposal to begin this ministry and he gave a resounding yes! Five successful Catholic Women’s conferences have been held and the highlights are below. The 2022 Catholic Women’s Conference of Denver will be held on September 17, 2022 at Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Denver.
