WANTED: Geographical Conference Coordinators

The KY Catholic Homeschool Conference needs your help...

We are currently seeking individuals willing to act as conference coordinators for various geographical areas throughout KY, IN, TN, OH, and WV.

The conference coordinator will interact with homeschool families and groups in their local geographical areas to keep them informed of the conference progress and news, as well as help garner support and register attendees.

We are currently looking for coordinators in the following areas:

Bowling Green, KY
Covington, KY
Hopkinsville, KY
Louisville, KY - Filled
Lexington, KY
Owensboro, KY
Paducah, KY
Clarksville, TN
Nashville, TN - Filled
Tennessee (other areas)
Evansville, IN
Jeffersonville/New Albany, IN
Indiana (other areas)
Ohio
West Virginia

Again, the coordinator will basically be our point of contact to forward info and updates on the conference and they in turn can pass the info along to others in their area. The coordinator will basically promote the conference and solicit attendance from others in their geographic area. We would also like to list the name of the coordinator and some contact info on our website (email and/or phone - both is best). In turn, we will credit $5 toward the coordinator's registration fees for each family they get to register (not to exceed the total cost on their registration).

Please contact us if you wish to volunteer as a coordinator. If you are not personally interested, but know of someone who may be interested, please pass this message on to them.

About the Conference

This year, we would really like to stress that anyone may attend the conference -- veteran or new Catholic homeschooling parents, those discerning homeschooling, those encouraging and supporting Catholic home education. In addition, Catholic parents looking to supplement the education of children enrolled in an organized school, Catholic educators looking for additional curriculum options, and parish priests looking to assist the parents in his parish with educational options, may also find the conference useful. Parents of high school students may also wish to attend the conference in order to speak with the various college and vocation representatives that will be in attendance. This conference supports all teaching-styles, learning-styles, and Catholic curriculum options. We hope that by getting this message out, we will be able to educate more people on the idea of homeschooling.

Please help us spread the word by sharing this information with all of your friends and family, as well as your parish priests.

From the Regina Pacis website:

'The chaplain, Fr. John Rickert, FSSP, was ordained by Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz for the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter on May 22, 2010, and Regina Pacis is his first assignment. A native of central Kansas, Fr. Rickert lived in the Dallas, Texas, area before entering the seminary.

Who can attend this event? Anyone may attend -- veteran or new Catholic homeschooling parents, those discerning homeschooling, those encouraging and supporting Catholic home education. In addition, Catholic parents looking to supplement the education of children enrolled in an organized school, Catholic educators looking for additional curriculum options, and parish priests looking to assist the parents in his parish with educational options, may also find the conference useful. Parents of high school students may also wish to attend the conference in order to speak with the various college representatives that will be in attendance. This conference supports all teaching-styles, learning-styles, and Catholic curriculum options. Parents typically attend this event from throughout KY, as well as the surrounding states.

Child/Student Attendance Policy: Nursing infants are welcome and attend free of charge. Due to the manpower and amount of responsibility involved, childcare is not provided. Most parents find it easier to concentrate on the speakers and vendors knowing that someone familiar is watching their children at home. However, we recognize that it is not always possible to find someone to watch our children. With this in mind, we have decided to add a child activity room for supervised children, under 11. Parents, unable to make other arrangements, may bring their children free of charge. However, the children must stay in the child activity room and must be accompanied by an adult (over 18) at all times. Each family is responsible for the supervision of their own children. Parents may alternate watching their children or they may bring along a grandparent, etc, to assist with watching the children. Paper, crayons, and other activities will be provided. Children 11 and up may attend the Teen Conference. There is a fee for all teens attending the Teen conference.

Do I have to pay full price to come to the curriculum sale on Friday?

Yes. You must register for the conference in order to attend the curriculum sale. We depend upon the registration fees to put on a quality conference and attract national vendors.

Vendors will be open Friday from 4 - 8 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Schedule your time so you can acquaint yourself with the many options available to Catholic homeschoolers.

Please note that some vendors do not accept credit cards.

2011 KY Catholic Homeschooling Conference Vendor Registration Form

2nd Annual Kentucky Catholic Homeschooling Conference

The St. Benedict Homeschool Group is pleased to announce the second annual Kentucky Catholic Homeschooling Conference. Last year’s conference proved a great success, as evidenced by the positive feedback from our vendors and participants alike. Now that we have established ourselves and our reputation as a quality Homeschool Conference in Kentucky, we can move forward and expand quite a bit. We have teamed up with the St. Thomas Aquinas Homeschool Group in Louisville as well as the St. Joseph Homeschool Group in Lexington, in an effort to draw all local homeschoolers together for this worthwhile event. This year’s conference will consist of speakers, known to draw a crowd, a Friday evening vendor shopping day prior to the conference, and a much larger group of participants. Fortunately, we have also managed to keep our cost to vendors and participants the same. We hope to continue last year’s success as we expand to accommodate the local, growing Catholic homeschooling community.


The success of last year’s conference is owed in large part to the multitude of vendors who provided resources for forming not only the intellects of our children but also their souls. The conference is scheduled for Friday, June 3rd and Saturday, June 4th, 2011 in Radcliff, KY. Friday evening will be dedicated exclusively to choosing materials and shopping our vendor booths prior to Saturday’s speaker conference. Please open the attachment for a vendor invitation and registration for the conference.

Here is the website for the conference: http://www.kycatholichomeschooling.org/

We may also be followed on our blog: http://kycatholichomeschooling.blogspot.com/

Please visit our website to learn more about the conference. An attendee registration form is being made available on our website for those wishing to attend the conference. The vendor registration is only available by email at this time, but will be added to the website soon. Priest and religious are welcome and are able to attend free of charge.

Feel free to visit us on Facebook and Twitter. Please assist us by sharing the news of our conference on your blog, website, or newsletters and by forwarding our information to anyone who may be interested.

If you have any additional questions, we can be contacted by email at:

We thank you and may God bless you,
