Founded in 1923, the
National Catholic Rural
Life Conference has

Throughout these eight

and affirmed the rural
way of life.
Over the years, the
Catholic Rural Life
Conference has clearly
stood in favor and
support of rural people,
family farms and local
businesses that promote
sustainable community
development.
