Originally created to connect and educate college and high school students from around the country on either the day before or after the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., the Conference was first held in 2000 and later named in honor of His Eminence John Cardinal O’Connor, the late Archbishop of New York and a Georgetown University alum. Cardinal O’Connor was renowned for his courage as a champion of the unborn, and the Cardinal O’Connor Conference on Life seeks to continue his mission of defending the sacredness of all human life. As the largest student-run pro-life conference in the nation, the Cardinal O’Connor Conference strives to create intellectually rigorous discourse that is sensitive to the particular concerns of this generation of the pro-life debate. The Conference now attracts nearly eight hundred students, academics, clergy, and activists from around the country each year to reflect on the pro-life positions that Cardinal O'Connor so staunchly defended.
