Glory to Jesus Christ! Слава Ісусу Христу! We are an organization of Roman Catholics and Ukrainian Byzantine Catholics which was instituted in 2004 to foster understanding of each other and of all Christians. We have strived to serve God by evangelizing through religious renewal opportunities and education.
We are proud to present annually, our main event, Redberry Catholic Conference. This is an annual outdoor retreat, a celebration of the Catholic Faith in its fullness, with the coming together of the Eastern and Western Rites. We were inspired by the words of the late, great, Pope John Paul II, “The church must learn to breathe again from both lungs, its Eastern lung and its Western lung.”
We are pleased to announce that this year’s Conference will be held on Saturday, July 3, 2010. The theme this year is: "Year of the Priesthood". Special mention must be made to our two host priests, Father Mykhaylo Fedoriv and Father Ramel Macapala who have served as committee members and spiritual directors. We must also mention priests who have served us in the past, Father Andrew Lukaszewicz and Father Paul DeGuzman.
Acknowledgement and thanks must also be given to Father Ron Dechant, OMI. Father Ron has operated the sound system, since the 2004 conference. He records, reproduces and distributes CD's of the talks and homilies. Copies can be obtained through this site.
There is no registration fee. Donations gratefully accepted.
Our Guest Line-Up:
Michael Walsh is a husband, father, motivational speaker, evangelist and missionary. He and his wife, Amy, have two boys and a third child on the way.
Michael is a full-time youth minister in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. During the past five years, Michael has focused his efforts on answering God’s call to spreading the Catholic faith to Catholics, practicing and non-practicing, around the world. His engaging and motivating talks have inspired and encouraged Catholics of all ages all over North America to live out their Catholic faith in their everyday lives. You must hear Michael for yourself… you will be glad you did.
Denise Gerein, Singer, songwriter and entertainer is back by popular demand. Her songs show her deep faith and love for God. One song which she wrote, "You Know Who I Am Lord" really reflects her humility and reaches right to your soul. Her voice has been compared to that of Ann Murray with one significant difference, she is in love with the Lord. She is a lawyer by profession and is accompanied by her husband Tony. Do not miss this performer!
Bishop Albert Thévenot, M. Afr. We are privileged and excited to have Bishop Thévenot, Roman Catholic Bishop for the Diocese of Prince Albert, joining us again this year.
Most Rev. Michael Wiwchar, C.Ss.R, Bishop Emeritus, has been a strong supporter of our Conference. Biship Michael has attended most of our past conferences while he was Bishop of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Saskatoon. We are delighted that he is planning to join us again this year, health permitting. Please add Bishop Michael’s health to your prayer intentions.
You are all invited to be entertained, inspired and fulfilled, as we mark the close of this year dedicated to the Priesthood.
