Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I wasn't sure where to post this.

Have any of you ever heard of or have experience with this group?

I just found out our Church will be hosting a Eucharistic Parish Mission with them in June.

Father Shannon Collins has spoken at numerous homeschooling conferences. His talks have always been so inspiring. He is a very holy priest, I've only heard good about the Father's.

They use to come and do the parish mission at our old parish! They rock!!!!!

My husband has a Spiritual Boot Camp by Fr. Shannon. I don't know if the links still work, but this website has some talks you can download.

I knew I'd get thumbs up or down from you wonderful ladies! We aren't having Fr. Collins, we will have Fr. Louis Guardiola. I would think that the content would be the same, maybe just the presentation would be different.

Oh yes Paula! It wasn't always Fr. Shannon Collins who came to our parish; it varied and they were all excellent! Fr. Collins usually stands out in everyone's mind because he is so tall and has such an excellent speaking voice but we always enjoyed which ever Father of Mercy came to our parish!

Our parish just had a mission with the Fathers of Mercy - Fr Thomas Sullivan. Excellent. Talks on the Rosary, Padre Pio, Mother Teresa, St Joseph, Our Lady. Masses and blessigs and a Holy Hour, very inspiring for our parish.

We have a local family camp that they (The Father's of Mercy) send a priest our for each year. THEY ARE ALL WONDERFUL!! In fact the priest they will be sending out this summer will be Father Tony Stevens, who attended Christendom College at the same time I did. I am so disappointed that we will be missing the camp this year! You are so blessed to have them coming to your parish!
