We had a full house! Fr. Blount's Ministry drew people travelled from all over the United States to attend this Conference. We had participants from Virginia, South Carolina, Florida, California, Idaho and other states near and far! We had some clergy members attend as well including Priests, Deacons, and Religious Sisters. Relics of St. Padre Pio, Luisa Picaretta, St. Charbel, and others were venerated as part of the Healing Service Friday Night. We had many reports of Healing that continued into the next day during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass! Fr. Jim Blount, Exorcist, Missionary Priest SOLTA Georgia, and who has a prophetic, healing, and deliverance ministry was our guest speaker. He is entering St. Joseph Church for his first talk on Friday September 2nd, 2022. He is escorted by Maria Muratore, the Director of Catholic Charismatic Services for the Diocese of Raleigh and Wendy Edwards, St. Joseph Church parishioner, CCS Board Member, and "Christ in Us" conference coordinator. Vibrant praise and music was provided by The Surrender Band throughout the Conference (including the four healing service! )
Sometimes in our lives we find a treasure, we strike gold in unexpected places. That’s what happened when a lovely lady by the name of Rosemarie Mancino entered my life. She’s a sweetheart and ends all our conversations with “I’ll be praying for you.” I feel so blessed and supported in my own ministry and enjoy our weekly visits. She’s a lady who quietly blesses so many hearts and encourages others to go farther and deeper in their own prayer lives. Her dearest friends know her simply as “Rosie”. She’s a beautiful woman of faith who never ceases to inspire. Although she’s 80+ years old, she’s still one of the youngest people I know. Her unfailing faith and determination to minister to others is truly amazing. She loves talking about past victories in the Charismatic Renewal at its infancy and all her experiences and trials. She’ s very open and frank about who she is and her beliefs. Somehow, she’s managed to be both a firecracker and a humble soul all at the same time. She’s on fire for the Lord and very devoted to the Blessed Mother. She evangelizes to everyone she meets and isn’t shy giving even a priest some sage advice. Her ministries today have been totally spirit-led. When she was first made aware of our Lady of Good Success and Mother Marianna of Ecuador, she knew she was being called to lead a weekly intercessory prayer group from her home. Mother Marianna was a nun who experienced Marian apparitions in 1593 instructing her and her order to pray and intercede specifically for the future generation of the 20th century. It’s an amazing devotion with a unique history of our Lady’s unwavering assistance to all those who seek her help.

What a great time we had at this year's Ignited By Truth Conference! To all those who assisted with me at the IBT table: Debra Rony, Cecilia Soprowska, Nicole Jungclas, Mary Trombetta, Donna Schroyer, Dee Craine, Andy and Win Wallace. I'd like to express my gratitude and appreciation to them for generously using their time and gifts ministering at the IBT table. They did an amazing job as representatives and ambassadors of Christ! Please accept my heartfelt "thank you" with God's blessings always. It was great seeing so many Catholic s from all over our diocese coming together in fellowship and faith. It was great hearing the amazing teachings. I really enjoyed my conversation with Monsignor Rossetti. Please Remember to add his Catholic exorcism app, created by the St. Michael Center for Spiritual Renewal. This app was created to continue the Center's spiritual renewal, healing, and deliverance ministry, including assisting priests and those in deliverance ministry with the best practices and resources. The app includes: - Prayers for Priest Exorcists - Prayers and Resources for all those assisting in deliverance ministry, healing, and spiritual renewal - Ask an Exorcist: contact the Catholic exorcists from the St. Michael Center - Diary of an Exorcist: The weekly blog of the exorcists at the St. Michael Center in Washington, DC. It was an awesome day and I truly enjoyed meeting so many wonderful people from our charismatic community. Thank you to everyone who participated and used their gifts. It was also very exciting to be interviewed on air with Divine Mercy Radio. My daughter, Nicole Muratore, is an on air personality with the Meet the Priests Episode Series. She has been interviewing local priests, visiting authors and Catholic speakers on her show. We’ve all been blessed by opportunities like these to come together and share our faith. I’m looking forward to our new upcoming events. Please visit our website for announcements and registration information for all events. Peace and God’s blessings, Maria Muratore *For current and past issues of our Charismatic Renewal newsletter THE FLAME : https://dioceseofraleigh.org/charismatic-renewal/newsletter Divine Mercy Healing Conference 2021Mercy Healing Conference 2021Praise the Lord!
Thank you to those who joined us for this year's Virtual Divine Mercy Healing conference October 1st and 2nd. Fr. Sunil and his team in NJ did an amazing job with guiding us in prayer and praise. We had a wonderful inspiring Healing event this past weekend. We were so blessed by Fr. Thomas Sunil's teaching, prayer and beautiful prophetic words of encouragement and healing. Thank you to all our Intercessors and prayer warriors for praying so diligently for our registrants, their families and all those who interceded on behalf of those who couldn't even be at the event directly. I know many received answered prayers, healings and answers. Thank you to our Charismatic Renewal Board and especially Matt Sebastian for all technical help. Thank you to Wendy Edwards for singing so beautifully and leading us in the Divine Mercy Chaplet. Thank you to all who participated, assisted and prayed with us! Praise the Lord! We were so blessed to have had so many people all around our Diocese of Raleigh, throughout all of NC including various states NY, NJ, VA, FL, SC, ND, PA and more! Since this has been a virtual event we had a minor difficulty towards the end of the event during Mass and Adoration. See the TESTIOMINIES TAB to read some testimonies from attendees. From Maria Muratore:
Wow! We really were blessed by our recent Maria Vadia conference last Friday evening: "The Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God"! Thank you to all those who participated. A special thank you to all who used their gifts to minister to all: our music ministry, intercessors and our Charismatic Board members who prayed (without ceasing) and planned for this event. I must say that DONNA SCHROYER and DEBRA RONY made an awesome musical duet and sounded amazing!!! The music was truly anointed;) Maria Vadia was very inspiring, transparent, and open in her witness. I genuinely felt the movement of the Holy Spirit during her prayer and teaching. Many of you have already sent in feedback and testimony. SEE OUR TESTIMONY PAGE TAB, I would like to thank Patrick and Joy Campbell for leading the Breakthrough Healing Workshop for our Diocese of Raleigh Charismatic community. I would also like to thank all our CCS board members, ministers and leaders who assisted to make this powerful event possible. Thank you to all who attended and joined us for this workshop. Some have sent in beautiful testimonies. If you are still waiting for answered prayers, be patient. Sometimes change occurs over a couple days, weeks or even months. My family and I were so blessed and had a great experience. Our beautiful Music ministry (Donna Schroyer, Trish Bell, Wendy Edwards and Debra Rony) were wonderful. Thank you to Dee Craine and family for providing lodging and hospitality with an open heart and home. Our Intercessory prayer team led by Mary Trombetta had been praying for months in advance and throughout the actual event for all registrants and everyone involved. Thank you, again, to everyone for using your beautiful gifts!!! The Campbell's were amazing and incredibly open about their own testimony. I feel like they are old friends/family. Their engaging personalities and gentle humility allowed so many to relate and created an awesome environment for the Holy Spirit. The Breakthrough Workshop was very thorough in identifying and eliminating any blockages to healing and answered prayers. I encourage everyone to participate further by following them on Joyful Hope TV Youtube and Facebook. They are an anointed and gifted couple (and family) doing God’s work. They are getting so many souls “back on track”. I’ve been recieving testimonies from young and old alike. WE LOVE YOU PATRICK AND JOY!!!-Thank you for coming and serving all of us virtually and in person here in the Diocese of Raleigh. -Maria Muratore, Director Catholic Charismatic Services What an amazingly blessed time we had on our 2021 Retreat at Trinity Center, Salter Path NC. Our theme, Recognizing and Operating in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, was realized through instruction and group activities on Prophetic Word gifts as well as Intercessory and Healing prayer teams.
The ‘journey’ of preparation before our retreat was a learning experience. Nine days prior to our retreat weekend, our retreatants and Intercessory Prayer team began intensifying our prayer and scripture reading. We paid special attention to the sacraments of Reconciliation and Communion with more time in Adoration. We prayed in the spirit, tongues, very purposefully. We fed ourselves daily on the Word by reading our bibles and declaring verses. We definitely saw the results of this preparation by experiencing a cohesive flow throughout the retreat. The Holy Spirit was present especially during prayer, praise and worship. Everyone felt unified and open as they freely and spontaneously gave testimony. We definitely gave room for the Holy Spirit to do His thing. Thank you to our Intercessory prayer team-Mary Trombetta, Debra Rony, Debi Johnson, Trish, Damaris and all those who prayed for this retreat. Thank you to all our attendees who were all on fire sharing awesome testimonies and participated wholeheartedly in our activities. Thank you to Paul and Maureen McInerney for their wisdom and helping to create a great retreat experience. Fr. Ignatious was a delight and had us clapping and singing as he brought so much joy to our Saturday evening Mass. Thank you Nicole for being our music tech person and jumping in to help out and all your support. Thank you Wendy, for partnering on my prayer team for hours of pray-overs and your beautiful singing! The Holy Spirit was present and it was great being together in fellowship even with the Covid restrictions. I thank God for the Holy Spirit’s presence this weekend. I thank Him for His guidance and direction in planning and executing each topic, and the energy needed to pack it all into one weekend. God surrounded us with awesome people-He truly introduces His friends to one another. Every testimony taught a lesson just as clearly as a teaching would-that’s the Holy Spirit’s style. I’m so touched that you shared your thoughts about the weekend and the preparation experience. It means so much to get feedback. It helps to see when and where God is working and how to fix things for next time. We faced many unprecedented challenges with a small skeleton crew and faced many last minute changes. I hoped that the focus wouldn’t be on our lack but on the abundance of God’s graces. Don’t look at current obstacles because they’ll all eventually melt away as the fire of the Holy Spirit burns far greater in comparison. We were all touched in unique individual ways as the Holy Spirit came renewing and refreshing us- we surely need it! - Maria Muratore, Director of Catholic Charismatic Services Nicole Muratore The 2017 Winter Jam Tour was a powerful and memorable experience for those of all ages who attended. Thousands of people filled into the PNC Arena and upon entering the building, Christ’s presence was already strong and persisted throughout the night. Newsong band members hosted the show, spreading the excitement and anticipation of what was to come. Every musician and speaker who took the stage made a lasting impression on the audience; the next was better than the last. It was a pleasant surprise to see the great number of young people in the audience, some as young as 5 years-old. The energy in the room was palpable as twelve acts performed; three of whom performed a ‘pre-jam’ before the official start of the concert. Those who resonated with me were Newsong, Colton Dixon, Tenth Avenue North, Andy Mineo, Sadie Robertson, and Britt Nicole. I felt an overarching message throughout the course of the evening. Even though God is always there for us and loves us unconditionally, he points us to ou legacy in the world. Sadie Robertson spoke about David and Goliath and the meaning of what it is to be a champion or leave a legacy. Champions wins and only wins for themselves. A legacy makes a difference in the world and will leaves something behind for future generations. I began to think about how many of us are living as champions and are only in it to win, which can apply to so many aspects of life. However, after our earthly time is up, all we really leave behind is our memory. We should all strive to be a legacy because God has a plan for each and every one of us. In-between songs, Britt Nicole left her bible at her feet during her set where she continually went back to reference meaningful verses to connect to the concert. It was raw but genuine and contributed to the whole of the Arena being lifted in faith and love. The musicians each had a story to tell about their experiences on the tour within the last 10 days. They told stories of young teenagers accepting Jesus as their Lord and Savior, stories of people who struggled financially only to be supported by their church or fellowship community, as well as stories of sponsorship for children in other countries. What I loved about the Winter Jam Tour was the passion and peace it brought to me and my ability to leave it ready to spread the word of God with my loved ones and close friends. God led me to go and enjoy it that night with a great group of people. I can’t wait to attend again next year! |
