FAMILY HEALING THROUGH THE RELEASE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

            Come join us for a transformative weekend as we receive anointing and gifts of healing on the beautiful grounds of Malvern Retreat House in Pennsylvania.

            This weekend is designed specifically to bring restorative healing and wholeness to our lives to empower us to share that healing and wholeness with our families and the world.

            Holy Masses, Adoration, gifted speakers with unique charisms, prayers, music and fellowship will prepare us to renew and restore the gifts we received at our Baptisms and Confirmations.  Come experience the release of the Holy Spirit, the foremost author of Divine Healing.

Speakers At the Conference:

John Martínez  

John lives in the beautiful Texas Hill Country and is happily married to a wonderful Catholic born-again Christian. He is a retired general contractor and Vietnam Veteran who is in love with the Blessed Holy Trinity and Our Blessed Mother, the mother of Jesus. “Ours is a journey I humbly attribute totally to the graces of God and our Blessed Mother.” It has taken John over thirty-four years to write the “Messages, Teachings and Private Revelations”. He believes we are called to pray, repent of our sins, and open our hearts to God and begin in the safety of a steadfast, real, and continuing relationship with Him-in the very heart of Him.

Vickie L.S. Smith M.Ed., BDV 

Vickie Smith, a wife and mother of five, is an inspirational Catholic speaker and teacher. She leads the Upper Room prayer ministry, guiding others in living through the gifts of the Holy Spirit and deep dependence on Providence. Vickie has a Masters in Educational Psychology and is a Third Order Benedictine of the Divine Will. Her journey began with her own healing, as she sought freedom from trauma, depression, and migraines, ultimately encountering the Blessed Virgin, who led her to Jesus. Following divine guidance, Vickie traveled to Medjugorje, where her path intertwined with Saint Padre Pio’s intercession. In 2002, after receiving a powerful sign and miraculous healing, she entered the Catholic Church, dedicating her life to sharing faith, healing, and prayer. 

Jim Fifth 

Jim Fifth once walked in darkness and the occult. Rescued by God’s grace, Jim converted to the Catholic Faith and now lives as a devout husband and father of four. Through his powerful testimony and “After the Warning” ministry, he shares his harrowing journey from darkness to light, dedicated to spreading Heaven’s messages and preparing souls for what is coming to the world—a mission born from someone who has witnessed both sides of the battle for souls.
