Called into the Heart of Jesus…Sent to Share His Burning Love

Barbara Heil, a former Protestant Missionary and Evangelist, came home to the Roman Catholic Church in April of 2013, soon forming From His Heart Ministries with a desire to see this generation experience the deep love of our Heavenly Father. She has appeared on The Coming Home Network on EWTN; has spoken at the International Eucharistic Congress in Budapest; and has appeared on numerous TV and radio programs. She conducts parish missions, revivals, retreats, conferences, and ministers in foreign missions. Barbara is the author of “Journey into His Heart”, and her goal in life is to live out her “yes”, bringing people into an encounter with Jesus that changes everything.

Through dynamic preaching, prayer, worship, and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, Barbara Heil will lead us into deeper intimacy with Christ and empower us to live as true witnesses of His presence!

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!
