Fr. Leon Pereira, OP, the Chaplain to the
English-speaking pilgrims in Medjugorje will speak about Our Lady’s Messages.
He speaks with wit and insight as he shares his amazing testimony. Come to
listen to Our Mother’s call from someone who has lived and ministered to
hundreds of thousands of pilgrims in Medjugorje.
Countless souls have experienced conversion through Medjugorje and Our Lady's Messages.
Fr. Leon's visit to the US only includes 5-6 cities, and Wichita is one of them! Fr. Leon Pereira, OP, is the Chaplain to English speaking
pilgrims in Medjugorje. Fr. Leon has an incredible testimony; he was a medical doctor before
becoming a priest and is incredibly witty and insightful – so much so that he
can make you roll with laughter while sharing profound truths and testimoney. Marie Moore, a 17-year-old who met him in Medjugorje states, “The cliché is true. Listening to him,
you’ll never be bored - because he’s so entertaining and funny!”
Aaron Crisler, a
parishioner who has been to Medjugorje three times, encourages all to come.
“Being able to listen to Father Leon's testimony of his personal experiences
and the knowledge he brings with him is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Many people simply cannot afford to travel
7000 miles to the other side of the planet. It is a tremendous grace that we
are granted the opportunity to have Father Leon travel to see us and speak.”
Aaron Crisler adds: “Just as those who make it to Medjugorje
are called by Our Lady to go, so will it be for those called to listen to
Father Leon. Please don't miss this wonderful opportunity to experience
Medjugorje right here in Wichita Kansas. I personally
guarantee you will not be disappointed when you leave after listening to Fr. Leon."
Have you heard about Medjugorje? Perhaps you’ve heard
something of this village where daily apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary
are reportedly taking place up to this day - for nearly 37 years! Because the reported apparitions are ongoing,
the Church has not made an official ruling yet, but “devotion of Medjugorje is allowed. It’s not prohibited, and need not
be done in secret,” confirmed Archbishop Henryk Hoser.
In fact, Archbishop Hoser, who was sent by Pope Francis to
study Medjugorje, attests that it is a “phenomenon”,
a “movement [that] will not stop and
should not be stopped”, “one of the
most living places of prayer and conversion”. Those who have had the
privilege to go to Medjugorje echo these statements. St. John Paul
II called it, “the spiritual heart of the world”!
Our Lady calls everyone to hear the call to Her Son. She is calling you, personally - to draw ever closer to her heart, to allow her motherly love to heal, to lead toward a true conversion to Her Son; to come to know true and lasting peace. Come...be filled. Bring a friend or loved one.
Please share far and wide!!
