Future Speaker to be Announced

Karen grew up in Pittsburgh, PA with a dream to live in the country and own horses.  Little did she know that God would use horses to bring her into a relationship with Him.  By the age of 14, realizing that she couldn’t live with her family any longer, she moved from one family to the next.  At 16, Karen bought a motorcycle, dropped out of school and moved to a ranch in Ohio.  Riding horses was a passion for her, but not enough to stop Karen from slipping into a world of self-destruction, running from one addiction to the next.  In 1992, after ending up in a treatment facility, Karen started her road to recovery and discovered who Jesus is.  After a horse accident that almost took her life, she experienced a complete surrender to Jesus.  With a husband of 36 years, 3 adult children and one grandson Karen now spends all of her time seeking and serving God and encouraging people.  Karen has been a drummer in Living Praise Worship Team for over 20 years.  She attends Mass at Franciscan University regularly and belongs to Holy Family Parish.  She had a close relationship with Father Mike Scanlan.  In addition, Father Tom Sparacino has been very special to her since he became the spiritual leader for the Magnificat.

Personal Prayer ministry will be available after this Meal.

History of Ark of the Covenant Chapter Magnificat Chapter

We hold Magnificat breakfasts four times a year.  The program includes a shared meal, praise and worship led by music volunteers, a speaker who shares God’s work in her life, intercessory prayer and a mini teaching by our Spiritual Advisor. At each meal, a woman gives her testimony of how the Lord God has touched her life in an extraordinary way with His grace. The women in attendance come to understand that what God has done for that speaker, He can also do for them. This is a source of freedom and empowerment!  This witness of God’s action and mercy in the speaker’s life focuses on hope in the midst of adversity and brings to life the scripture quote: “They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” Rev 12:11

Magnificat has been a means of spiritual growth for each of us in the leadership of our chapter.  We have seen fruits of the manifestation of the power of the Holy Spirit in the lives of all our membership through our gatherings. It is a truly a very rewarding grace to serve in this ministry.

We all find this ministry, begun in New Orleans in October of 1981, to be an anointed movement of the Holy Spirit. It has since spread internationally to nearly 100 chapters encompassing the United States, the Caribbean Islands, Canada, Malta, Poland, Ireland, Dominican Republic, and Uganda.

The late Bishop David E. Foley of the Birmingham diocese wrote the following prayer we would like to pray with you: “O Mary, Mother of Christ and Mother of our Catholic Church, may all women of the world take you as their model of what it means to be a woman. May you, who are Woman of Faith, lead us by the power of the Spirit to a new evangelization of the world. Amen.”

Come and see at our next gathering!
