Becoming a More Fruitful Intercessor

Noel Delery, a spiritual director and retreat leader from Mandeville has recorded a class on intercessory prayer. This day will be filled with testimonies, prayer, and sessions on how your prayer can be more effective and how to pray into the heart of God.
This class is brought back by demand. Cost of this class is $30. However, if you attended the previous class and want to join us, registration is $10 to cover lunch. (See registration info below.)
“The hour is coming, in fact has come, when the vocation of women is being acknowledged in its fullness, the hour in which women acquire in the world an influence, an effect and a power never hitherto achieved. That is why, at his moment when the human race is undergoing so deep a transformation, women imbued with a spirit of the Gospel can do so much to aid humanity in not falling” -The Council’s Message to Women (December 8, 1965); AAS 58 (1966), 13-14.
Personal Prayer Ministry is available.
Confessions will not be available at this event.
