TOPICS - 2007 CONFERENCE
Monday and Tuesday
Rev. Jose Fortea the
demonologist from Madrid, Spain is an international expert in the area of
discerning and ministering to those areas where evil devastates souls. He will
develop common pastoral interventions aiding priests in some of the more complex
ministerial challenges facing priests in their pastoral role.
Wednesday and Thursday morning
Rev. Jeffrey Grob
of the Archdiocese of Chicago, and Rev. Dennis McManus of the Archdiocese of
Mobile, will make a joint presentation on demonic possession and the use of the
rites of exorcism. They both bring wide pastoral experience in the area of
demonic-human contact, and will offer the benefit of theological, canonical and
practical understanding of this aspect of priestly ministry.
Thursday Afternoon
Rev. John Michet and Dr. Margarett A. Schlientz will present how evil uses our thoughts
to draw us into desolation so cleverly that one may not notice how his seduction plays on our wounds.
Friday Morning
Bishop Robert
Hermann and Bishop Martin Holley will speak to the role of the Bishop as
discerner and pastor to brother priests as they encounter the complex dimensions
of evil in parish life.
Tuesday and Thursday Afternoon
At the last conference (2006) there were a number of attendants who
were not familiar with inner healing prayer and the importance of this
ministry as the core of deliverance and exorcism. So we will provide
two one hour sessions (part 1 & part 2) - Tuesday from 1:30 to 2:30 and Thursday from 1:30
to 2:30. This will introduce you to the basic of this ministry.
Attendance is optional.
