Are You Hurting, Depressed or Recovering? Healing Ministry To Be Discussed on CatholicTV Talk Show

On Friday, September 11th, Debbie Pryor from Our Sorrowful Mother’s Ministry (OSMM) in Vandalia, IL will discuss among other things, their healing ministry which is located about an hour from St. Louis, MO on the CatholicTV talk show “This is the Day”.

Mr. Chuck Neff of Salt River Productions recently filmed a retreat at Our Sorrowful Mother’s Ministry (OSMM) in order to create a DVD for a documentary on the ministry. OSMM focuses on healing and reconciliation ministry and is home to weekly retreats and an annual retreat which regularly features nationally-known Catholic speakers. The feast of Our Lady of Sorrows is honored on September 15th.

Also on the show, will be Carolyn Black and Marie Fusaro Davis. They will be talking about this year’s upcoming “Gather Us In” Women’s Conference in Worcester, MA which will feature a keynote address by Rwandan Holocaust survivor Immaculée Ilibagiza. The theme for the 2009 conference is: "The Triumph of Forgiveness: Sharing Stories of Compassion". Gather Us In is the pioneering women’s conference in New England. The conference will conclude with Mass celebrated by Most Rev. Robert J. McManus, D.D., S.T.D., Bishop of the Diocese of Worcester.

These guests can be seen on Friday, September 11th, live at 10:30AM (EST) on CatholicTV where available (rebroadcast at 8PM).
