"Come Glorify Our God of Power and Might!"

By Dominic Berardino

SCRC works hard to help people grow strong in Christ. The upcoming SCRC Catholic Renewal Convention on Labor Day weekend is featuring an array of outstanding offerings unparalleled in our 41 year history. Indeed, the early response to this Convention’s registration brochure has been somewhat overwhelming.

In a very bold added venture for this year’s Convention, five Exorcists will be teaching about spiritual realities affecting the entire human race. Their talks will take place in the context of two separate “Christ Triumphant” Tracks. For anyone not interested in that subject, there are so many other valuable spiritual topics being offered at the rest of the Convention, that a person could participate in the entire three days without ever seeing or hearing an exorcist speak!

Another highly significant offering will take place on Thursday, August 30. The Exorcists will address a special gathering exclusively designed for Roman Catholic priests only. This attendance restriction is due to a Roman Catholic ministerial nature in regards to the subject matter. Blessed Pope John Paul II felt so strongly about this growing serious need that shortly before his death he put forth the call for more exorcists to be appointed throughout the entire world.

SCRC feels so strongly concerning the gravity of importance for this priests’ gathering that it is being offered free of charge. (Anyone wishing to make a special donation to help underwrite the extra financial costs incurred putting on this momentous undertaking - can earmark financial assistance to SCRC by designating “for Priest’s Day”.) We request that Roman Catholic priests planning to attend please RSVP to SCRC before August 28.

Clergy from other Christian communities and fellowships are welcome to register for the 3-day “Christ Triumphant Pastoral Track” (this is already happening!). Healthcare professionals are also encouraged to register for this Pastoral Track. The presentations are of a more academic and theologically-oriented nature. Prior to the Pastoral Track, registrants are encouraged to read the books: The Rite and Interview With An Exorcist.

The Christ Triumphant General Track will have much to offer. Especially for those who want to better resist the devil and grow stronger in overcoming spiritual opposition to their personal transformation in Jesus Christ. The presentations for this major 3-day Track build upon one another. We think it is important for people to attend this Track in its entirety. However, realizing some peoples’ schedules will not allow for this, we are permitting a one day registration (for the CT General Track only), in order to help people benefit at least in part.

This monumental Track is an unprecedented occurrence. The opportunity to learn first-hand from this many exorcists who are on the front lines of spiritual battle may never happen again on this scale! You may want to offer registration gifts to friends and family members -- they may be grateful to you throughout Eternity!

Please carefully read all the Track guidelines in the brochure or online before registering. Teens can be registered for this Track, but only if attending with a parent/guardian. Please note that the exorcist speakers are not available for any private consultations or appointments before, during or after this SCRC Convention.

In recent years, we in the SCRC ministry have been experiencing increased spiritual warfare. We solicit your prayers and fasting to help manifest God’s Power throughout this entire Convention. (see accompanying article). Even if you or some prayerful person you know are unable to be bodily present at the Anaheim Convention Center --your prayer connection is still vitally needed! Our Loving God will most certainly reward you for spiritually taking part in this mighty undertaking.
