The Annual

CORNBREAD CATHOLIC CONFERENCE

Speakers for 2026 “Give Me That Old Time Religion” Announcing Soon!

“The Church at Her leisure”

Natchez, Mississippi

November 21, 2026

Because here, we say grace & we say ma’am.

Now, why Natchez?

But, really, why go to some venue that just held a bland insurance conference in an impersonal big city and feel called more by number than by name?

Envelop yourself in southern charm and hang with like-minded folks also ‘workin’ hard to get to heaven.’

Here at Cornbread Catholic, y’all get faithful, Catholic content with the charm of a small, Southern town..

“When it is asked just so, straight out, just so: ‘Why are you a Catholic?’

I usually reply, ‘What else is there?’”

Walker Percy, Signposts in a Strange Land

Small town Southern charm.

It occurred to us that what is missing from Catholic conferences is the charm of location. The frenetic pace of city life can hinder a conference experience. Combining small town Southern hospitality with the beauty of the Deposit of Faith seemed like a win to us. So, the Cornbread Catholic Conference was born.
