Forever Irish Ladies Brunch

ladies brunch logo

An annual fall favorite, the Forever Irish Ladies Brunch combines brunch, engaging those lifelong connections of Cathedral. This is a great opportunity for Cathedral mothers, alumnae, alumni mothers, and grandmothers to reconnect with friends, and make new ones!

Our keynote speaker this year was Indiana’s Chief Justice Loretta Rush, as she shares how her Catholic faith has guided her impactful 40-year career in the legal field. As the first woman to serve as Indiana’s Chief Justice, she has been at the forefront of addressing society’s most pressing challenges—mental health, substance abuse, domestic violence, and the protection of vulnerable children. She will reflect on her powerful journey, the role of faith in her work, and her dedication to empowering women and girls to step into leadership.
