Get ready for a groundbreaking event! Several Catholic bishops, priests, therapists, authors, and experts are coming together for a free online conference on mental health and prayer. The Divine Fulfillment Conference, happening from Dec. 27–29, promises to be a unique and transformative experience.
Organized by the lay apostolate Souls of the Christian Apostolate (SOCA) based in Denver, this conference aims to address the pressing issue of mental illness and prayer in today’s world. The goal is not just personal growth but also to create a ripple effect that impacts families, friends, and the community.
Featuring speakers like Catholic therapist and author Bob Schuchts, Archbishop Alexander Sample of Portland, Oregon, and Bishop James Conley of Lincoln, Nebraska, the conference offers a diverse lineup of experts ready to share their insights and wisdom.
This event is a unique opportunity to delve into the intersection of mental health and prayer. The idea was sparked by SOCA’s founder, Kevin Roerty, who recognized the urgent need for attention to these areas in the Church and society. Now, with the support of Bishop Robert Barron, Archbishop Borys Gudziak, and the USCCB, the Divine Fulfillment Conference is set to make a lasting impact.
