Emeritus Sam Jacobs of the Diocese

Houma-Thibodaux

Unity is the theme of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Conference to be held in the Diocese of Corpus Christi on Saturday, Oct. 24, at St. Patrick Parish located at 3350 South Alameda Street in Corpus Christi. The conference will include a “healing service,” praise and worship and alabanza y adoración.

“The Spirit is within every one who wishes to be helped to open wide the door to make him flourish again. May the Lord accompany you in this mission, always with the Bible in hand, always with the Gospel in your pocket, with the Word of Christ,” Pope Francis said to the meeting of members of the Charismatic Renewal who were gathered on the occasion of the 38th Italian National Convocation held in Rome July 3-4.

Bishop Michael Mulvey will initiate the conference with a celebration of Mass at 8 a.m. Bishop Emeritus Sam Jacobs of the Diocese Houma-Thibodaux, Louisiana will be the keynote speaker. Other “dynamic and inspiring” speakers will make presentations in English and Spanish.

Tickets are $10 pre-sale and $15 at the door. Children 12 and under participate at no cost. For more information on this year’s conference, call (361) 850-3281 or (361) 852-3692.
