Deacon Chris Alar, MIC, was a guest speaker at the Marian Fathers' annual Mercy Weekend Conference on April 26, 2014, in Stockbridge, Mass. Here is an excerpt of his talk "Our Role in the Mission of Mercy."

Some people say the Rosary is not based on the Bible. Nothing could be further from the truth, starting with the first chapter of the Gospel of Luke! Join Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, as he reveals the mysteries of the Rosary found throughout the New Testament. Then hear the story of Fr. Eric Bergman and St. Thomas More Parish near Scranton, Pennsylvania, and how an entire town was transformed through the power of prayer. 

We all know someone who has left the faith and left us heartbroken. But there is hope! With God's grace, the help of the Saints, and your own contribution, their conversion can happen.
