Hello and welcome to Cavaganza's Live. I'm Sikell at your host, so happy to be back here.

Even though we had a really good weekend and didn't want it to end, it's just awful

nice to be back here in front of this microphone and getting to spend time with you. Second

hour Father Sam Kees will be here with us. First hour, we'll do Ask a Priest with Father

Sam Kees. First hour, we're going to talk with our good friend Simone Riscalla about the

feminine genius. But before we get into all of that, I do want to thank everybody who

came to the conference. The conference I thought was a smashing success. Our keynote speaker

sister Regina Marie Gorman, I don't think I've ever heard a room like that room when she

was speaking. You could have heard a pin drop. She was so, so good. Then Dr. Scott Hahn, a fantastic

talk. Dr. Logan Gage from Franciscan University, Dale Alquist, Dr. Francis Beckwith from

Baylor University. And then all of our guys, it was a lot of fun. We had a really good time.

And if you came, thank you very, very much for coming. And in a particular way, I want to

thank cowboy who brought two dozen donuts to the conference. That's the way you come to a conference.

You bring two dozen donuts with you for the host. The number here is 888-318-788-4. If you'd like

to talk about the Catholic Church's view of women, of womanhood, of femininity. This whole hour is

for you 888-318-788-4. Simone Riscalla, as I said, is our guest. She's the director of program

growth at Endow, which educates women toward a more profound understanding of the God of their own

given dignity through studying small communities of faith and friendship. Simone, it's nice to see you

again. Side, so good to be back. I've missed you. And I'm so sad I missed the conference this year.

You know what? It's weird, though. They put you in a video there. I think they were just trying

to make us look good. Yeah, the video, guys, they made a commercial for Catholic dancers and you

were a prominent part of it. That was so fun. That's so fun. Yeah. I love my Catholic dancers family,
