Now Is the Time—Come and Be Renewed

In a world shaken by confusion, division, and growing distance from faith—especially among our young people—God is calling women of faith to rise up. You are invited to a sacred encounter where hearts are healed, hope is restored, and the Holy Spirit moves with power.

Our speaker, Fran Karpiej, has spent over 40 years in Healing Prayer Ministry at both the Diocesan and National levels. A Secular Franciscan and founding leader of the Magnificat Chapter in Bridgeport, CT, Fran brings a message that is both urgent and full of grace. Through her joyful spirit, honest testimony, and deep intimacy with Christ, Fran helps others experience the healing, peace, and renewal that only God can give.

 In a time when so many are searching, broken, or drifting away from truth, Fran offers a compelling call to turn back to the Lord and to allow Him to “make all things new.”

 Don’t miss this chance to be spiritually refreshed, equipped, and inspired.

Come. Be renewed. Be empowered. The time is now.

With much love and prayer, in the hearts of Jesus and Mary, Judy, Margie, Cathy, Nina and Catalina – Your Magnificat Service team.

History of The Immaculate Heart of Mary Chapter of Magnificat!

In 1994 Angela Rizzo had just come back “home” to the Catholic Church.  She had been attending a charismatic Episcopal Church for 10 years when the Blessed Mother started to draw her back to her roots.  Angela was hesitant but knew that the Holy Spirit was guiding her.  Only one week after returning, she was reading a book about Medjugorje and the author mentioned a Catholic spirit-filled women’s ministry called “Magnificat.” Angela felt it would be a good way to meet similar Catholic women who had experienced the baptism with the Holy Spirit. That was the beginning of the formation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Chapter in Rockville Centre, Long Island, New York!  It took three years but on May 31st, 1997, the Feast of The Visitation, we held our first meal; a dinner, and Babsie Bleasdel was our speaker all the way from Trinidad!  Well over 200 women showed up and the chapter has been hosting meals now for 28 years!  We also host a yearly week-end retreat for the past 15 years and have been blessed to have many wonderful priests and spirit-filled women lead and teach us!  We are truly blessed!
