Some of the speakers include: Scripture scholar Fr. Thomas Acklin, OSB; Fr. Benedict Groeschel, founder of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal; EWTN host Fr. Mitch Pacwa, SJ; author and speaker Jeff Cavins; and Scott Hahn.
The Catholic Charismatic Conference, June 8-10, is focused on helping young adults discover the power of the Holy Spirit. It will feature internationally known charismatic speaker Sr. Briege McKenna, OSC, among the speakers.
The conferences include:
