Guest Speaker: Patti Mansfield

Patti Gallagher Mansfield participated in the historic “Duquesne Weekend” in February 1967, which marked the beginning of the Charismatic Renewal in the Catholic Church. She has ministered at conferences for laity and priests, proclaiming the grace of the Baptism in the Spirit, on five continents.

Patti is the author of As By A New Pentecost, Proclaim the Joy of the Gospel, Everyday Holiness, and Magnificat: A Mother’s Reflections on Mary. In June 2014, in Rome’s Olympic Stadium, Pope Francis acknowledged Patti as “one of the first to experience the Spirit in an intense way.” In 2017, she was privileged to be seated by the Pope’s side at the Golden Jubilee Vigil of Pentecost.

Patti is married to Al Mansfield, former Director of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal of New Orleans. They have four children and twelve grandchildren. In the Jubilee Year 2000, the Mansfields were awarded the Papal Medal, Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice (For the Church and the Pope), by Saint John Paul II.
