| About 500 people were in attendance at the conference |
Here are a few of the many photos I took at the Call to Holiness conference which took place here in metro-Detroit on Saturday, October 13th at Immaculate Conception School which is connected with St. Josaphat Ukrainian Catholic Church in Warren, Michigan. There was a separate youth conference taking place and some of the speakers spoke at both. You can find information about the event and speakers, and you can order audio and video at CallToHoliness.com
The theme was Vatican II with a focus on what was written versus the proverbial "spirit of the council." Many things are attributed to Vatican II that have no basis in the council.
Here are the speakers at the main conference.
 |
| Louie Verrecchio spoke on Harvesting the Fruit of Vatican II |
 |
| Fr. John Trigilio spoke on "Responsible Citizenship" |
 |
| Fr. John Zuhlsdorf, "Father Z" served as MC at the event and spoke at the evening dinner. |
 |
| His Excellency, the Most Reverent Alexander K. Sample offered the keynote address on "Revisiting What Vatican II Said About the Church" |
 |
| Fr. Frank Phillips, CR discussed "Sancta, Sanctae: Holy Things Done in a Holy Way" |
 |
| "Make No Mistake: The Bible Doesn't Err" was the subject of a talk by Fr. Brian Harrison, O.S. |
 |
| Dr. Monica Migliorino Miller discussed "Bioethics and the Church in a Post-Vatican II World" |

Needless to say, the young people were engaged.
These young people were among many who worked hard. These ladies spent hours at the registration table.

| Vendors were in an area outside the gym and in several rooms along the walk to the gym. |
Following the main conference, participants had an opportunity to go to a Divine Liturgy (Mass) in the Ukrainian Byzantine Rite (St. John Chrysostom) at St. Josaphat Ukrainian Catholic Church. It is part of the Eparchy of St. Nicolas (Chicago) and is in communion with Rome.

After the 6:00 PM Mass concluded, there was a dinner which was a separate event. It was quite well attended despite the long day. Fr. John Zuhlsdorf spoke after the dinner to conclude the evening.
