Set Afire: Burn with Love — World Ablaze 10 Year Anniversary Conference

Set Afire: Burn with Love World Ablaze 10 Year Anniversary Conference

🔥 August 1, 2026 | 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM 📍 St. Mary's Catholic Church | 1225 Olive Street, Oakdale, CA 95361

Come and be set ablaze.

Ten years ago, on the Feast of St. Catherine of Siena, World Ablaze was born from a simple desire: to see hearts ignited with the love of Jesus Christ. A decade later, we're marking the milestone the only way we know how — by gathering the faithful for a day of prayer, teaching, worship, and renewal.

Join us on the Feast of St. Alphonsus Liguori for a one-day Catholic conference designed to draw you deeper into the furnace of God's love.

About the Theme

St. Alphonsus Liguori wrote: "If we desire to burn with love towards God, let us love prayer; this is the blessed furnace in which this divine ardor is enkindled."

He also reminds us that "nothing in the world can set hearts ablaze with love for God like the Blessed Sacrament," recalling how St. Catherine of Siena saw flames from this furnace of love spreading throughout the world.

That is our prayer for Set Afire — that you would leave this day burning with love for God, your neighbor, and the mission He has placed on your life.
