Keynote Speaker
Father Aquinas Guilbeau, OP
We are very excited to have Father Aquinas Guilbeau, OP coming to speak at our 2024 Veritas Conference! A native of the Lafayette diocese, Fr. Aquinas is the first Vice President of Ministry and Mission at the Catholic University of America (CUA) and the University Chaplain. He is an accomplished scholar and preacher, completing his doctorate of Theology on the "common good" at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland.
Father will speak on the Life of Virtue, putting the concept of Virtue in easy-to-understand terms and giving practical advice on how to grow in virtue - and grow nearer to God!
Come hear Fr. Aquinas open up this joy-giving and freeing aspect of our Catholic life!
For years, the Veritas Conference has featured insightful keynote speakers and breakout leaders, strengthening the faith of believers and teaching us to love God more deeply in our daily lives, living more virtuously through the grace of the Eucharist. The grace and power of the Blessed Sacrament is the source of our faith and the driving force behind the Veritas Conference.
