Are you being called to communicate?

  • Are you are a writer, retreat leader, speaker, podcaster, or small group leader and want to grow and be encouraged in your apostolic work?
  • Do you feel a stirring to communicate the message of Jesus Christ in the world today but don’t know how to start?
  • Do you have a story to share but wonder if its time, or how to communicate authentically and empathetically?
  • Are you concerned that messages of hope threaten to be drowned out by the noise of the culture?
  • Do you need inspiration to create compelling content that communicates your unique expression of the Gospel message?
  • Do you want to reclaim the power of words and put them in the service of the Gospel? 

We live in times that, more than ever, need women’s voices to reclaim the power of words and put them in the service of the Gospel.

Our enemy has taken words — our most meaningful words — and twisted their meaning and distorted their definitions.

He has stolen our messages from us, suggesting that we “have nothing to say” or that “it has been said before” or “you’ll be canceled.”

The thief has hidden our stories behind fear and shame. He has told us that we are too unremarkable, too damaged, or too late.

He’s convinced us that we don’t know enough and don’t have time—and who cares, anyway?

Oh, woman of faith.

We Care. And We Need You.

We need you to go bravely into your parish centers and your schools, your small groups and your retreat centers and radio stations—and maybe even stages—and proclaim words of truth and hope.

We need you to write and write boldly, passionately, powerfully about what you have lived through and come to know. We need you to have honest conversations on social media and podcasts that stir our imaginations and set fire to our deepest, holiest desires.

We need your testimony and your story of transformation. We need your witness.

Why Attend the Called to Communicate Conference?

 

Join us for recorded interviews released each day, a LIVE kick-off with your co-hosts Claire Dwyer and Emily Jaminet, and a LIVE Q&A closing panel.

Write These Words invites you to be emboldened and inspired at “Called to Communicate: A Conference for Catholic Women.” Hear from women who have said yes wholeheartedly and put their words, tenderly and bravely—spoken and written—out into a world which threatens to be swallowed by its own darkness.

Allow these feminine powerhouses to speak into your life, offer practical advice on getting started or growing in your communication apostolate (or just in speaking words of truth in your own circles), and give encouragement and inspiration to tell your story, proclaim the truth in love, and extend the message of Gospel into the world today.

Hear the backstory from your favorite female Catholic communicators

  • How did they begin?
  • What have they learned along the way?
  • What advice do they have for you?

Spend time considering your own calling

  • Pray during the conference week, listening for what God is asking of you in this season
  • Use the Called to Communicate Journal (Extended Access only) to process the content
  • Allow the hosts and guests to speak encouragement and wisdom into your heart

Join in the live events and share the fun!

  • Be invigorated by spending time with other Catholic women who are passionate about sharing the Gospel
  • Ask questions and offer comments
  • Hear about other ways to stay connected and continue the conversation

Claire Dywer & Emily Jaminet


We communicate in imitation of our Creator, who is always communicating Himself to us in love. 

Let us nurture and develop ourselves as creatives, leaders, and communicators and spend time together reflecting how God has called us to proclaim the truth with clarity, authenticity, and love. 

We hope you’ll join us!
