Wellington Eucharistic Convention 2010
Sunday 7th March 2010
at
St Patrick's College Auditorium, Silverstream,
Upper Hutt
The theme of the Convention will be
“The Eucharist as Sacrament of Charity in Truth”.
We are delighted to have a great line up of Australian speakers for the 15th
Eucharistic Convention in Wellington.
They are:-
Fr. Andrew GRACE
From the Diocese of Wagga Wagga, Australia
is a dynamic young priest whose religious vocation came from his visit to
Medjugorge. His love of Our Lady and her messages is most inspiring and he
has a great gift working with young people and leading them back to God. He
has traveled to many parts of the world giving his testimony.
Ron TESORIERO
Ron Tesoriero is a Lawyer from New South Wales, Australia. Ron began
researching and investigating mystical phenomena in the Catholic Church in
1992. He examined these phenomena from a scientific viewpoint and produced
documentaries based on what he discovered. These documentaries ultimately
became a 2-hour prime time television special called “Signs from God,
Science Tests Faith” which was viewed by millions around the world. He is
currently working on another documentary called “The Trail of the Blood of
Christ
Mike WILLESEE
Michael Willesee dominated Australian
current affairs television for nearly three decades. For a long time
everything he touched, inside and outside the media industry, turned to
gold, seemingly without much effort on his part. He has now returned to the
Catholicism of his youth... a process accelerated by a plane crash in Kenya.
"I was in Nairobi flying north in a light
aircraft and I had a premonition we were going to crash.
There is nothing like a little bit of fear
to empower you to pray so I prayed and my prayer basically was Well, God
it's in your hands. The plane crashed and was written off but we all got
out. "So, that made me stop and think about God. It doesn't prove anything
but you've got to be pretty empty to pray to God to have a prayer answered
and then say it was fine for then but I don't need you now. I thought on
balance there probably was a God otherwise this world doesn't make much
sense." That was the start of Mike’s faith journey back to his Catholic
heritage.
The programme will include talks, prayers,
a Holy Hour when Reconciliation is available
and concluding with Mass at about 5-30 pm.
