Spiritual Conference in Emerson to Address Challenges Within Catholic Church

Church of the Assumption in Emerson, New Jersey

Today, many Catholics are angry, fearful and confused by recent events and the state of the Church. “God’s Victory thru Mary,” a 2-day spiritual conference presented by John Leaps Foundation, February 1st and 2nd at Church of the Assumption in Emerson, New Jersey will combine noted national Catholic speakers and personal testimonies, with music, worship and community time to help Catholics refocus on God’s presence and discover the victory over our challenging times foretold through Mary more than 400 years ago.

“These dark times for the Church were revealed in a series of apparitions of the Holy Mother beginning February 2, 1594,” explains John Leaps Director, Karen Japzon. “The apparitions were confirmed by the Church and today—with our event coinciding with the anniversary of the first apparition—we are working to share the joyful news the Holy Mother made known to us. Our goal is to dispel the fear and confusion many Catholics are feeling.”

The one-of-kind event will be held Friday evening, 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with sessions all day Saturday, 8:30 am to 8:00 pm, February 1st and 2nd at the Church of the Assumption, 29 Jefferson Ave. Emerson, New Jersey.
