January 25th, 2025 — SR PATRICIA EBEGBULEM SSL — The 26th Annual Cardinal O’Connor Conference on Life — Life and Dignity: A Global Commitment

Each year, the Car­di­nal O’Connor Con­fer­ence on Life strives to pro­mote intel­lec­tu­al­ly rig­or­ous dis­course on the sanc­ti­ty of human life as well as build a cul­ture of life both with­in and beyond the George­town com­mu­ni­ty. George­town stu­dents found­ed the Con­fer­ence in 2000 and remain the orga­niz­ers and facil­i­ta­tors of what has become the largest stu­dent-run, pro-life Con­fer­ence in the Unit­ed States. Root­ed in the Catholic tra­di­tion, the Con­fer­ence is named in hon­or of His Emi­nence John Car­di­nal O’Connor, who prin­ci­pal­ly com­mit­ted him­self to advo­cate for the defense­less and elo­quent­ly defend pro-life positions.

We aim to encour­age dis­cus­sion among men and women of all faiths and back­grounds, includ­ing stu­dents, pro­fes­sion­als, aca­d­e­mics, and cler­gy. Par­tic­i­pants will leave the Con­fer­ence equipped with the nec­es­sary argu­ments and infor­ma­tion to engage their local com­mu­ni­ties and fos­ter a cul­ture of life.
