About the speakers: Sr. Briege McKenna, O.S.C was born in Ireland and entered the Sisters of St. Clare at the age of fifteen. Following her final vows and after suffering for more than three years with rheumatoid arthritis, she was transferred to her community in Tampa, Florida with the hope that the Florida sunshine would relieve her suffering. At the age of twenty-four, she was miraculously and instantaneously healed during the celebration of the Eucharist and some time later received, in prayer, the gift of healing for which she has become so widely known. Sr. Briege was given a deep spiritual insight into the mystery of the call to priesthood.  Since then, bishops and priests in many parts of the world have invited her to speak and minister at their retreats and conferences. Her books include Miracles Do Happen and The Power of the Sacraments.

Fr. Pablo Escriva de Romani was ordained in Madrid 2009. A missionary who has worked around the world, he is now working as a diocesan missionary from Madrid in Costa Rica, helping in the indigenous zone, working with youth and giving spiritual exercises to priests. Fr. Pablo has joined Sr. Briege in ministering to priests and at parish missions.
