SDCCW speaker reflects on women’s ‘majestic’ role

From The Superior Catholic Herald...

After nine months of planning, Superior Diocesan Council of Catholic Women president Jane Schiszek arrived at Heartwood Resort in Trego Monday, June 27, to begin setting up for the organization’s 72nd annual convention.

Schiszek’s “anticipation and excitement were mounting as everything started falling into place.”
The introduction of a two-day format for the 2022 convention was well received, with 55 in attendance for both June 28-29 and another 33 participants for just the second day, which featured keynote speaker Liz Kelly and Mass with Bishop James P. Powers. There, officers were installed and the Pax Christi Award nominees and winner announced.

Schiszek was pleased to have 23 first-timers attend the convention. She was particularly grateful for the generosity of Bishop Powers and SDCCW chaplain Fr. Jim Brinkman, who were present both days.
“While the Heartwood Resort provided a beautiful and peaceful venue, it was the bishop, Fr. Jim and all the ladies attending the convention that added to the ambiance and success of the convention,” Schiszek said.

‘Unique,’ ‘unifying’ role

Wednesday’s keynote address was given by author and speaker Liz Kelly (who has since changed to her married name, Liz Kelly Stanchina) on the topic of “Your Mission, Your Majesty: Why the World Needs a Woman Exactly Like You.”
