Prince of Peace Catholic Church and College Church of the Nazarene co-host these conferences and we are grateful for the collaboration of many Christian denominations and ministries in the Kansas City area!  Most Christians of all denominations have had personal struggles in their lives with sexual issues and lust, and there are many hope-filled testimonies and non-judgemental resources at these conferences for encouragement and healing!  What an AMAZING opportunity to live with better intimacy, closer relationships, and intense amounts of happiness in your life! 

Guys, if you want to build intimacy in your marriage, I recommend buying tickets for your wife ... and watch her eyes GLOW with respect and love for you!  Ladies, these tickets would be an incredibly loving gift for your man that could completely improve the level of closeness and happiness in your relationship!  Parents and grandparents, this is an amazing event to bring your teens to that will help prepare them for a joy-filled and lasting marriage in the future!  More information and tickets are available here. 

The Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas has helped to sponsor these conferences over the past 9 years, and past speakers include Dr. Scott Hahn, Kimberly Hahn, Christopher West, Curtis Martin, Troy Hinkel, Matt Fradd and Dr. Mark Laaser!  We are grateful to Fr. Frank Burger, Fr. Andrew Strobl, Fr. Anthony Kiplagat, and the staff at Prince of Peace for co-hosting these INCREDIBLE conferences!  Seriously, don't miss out on a better life and WAY more happiness from the amazing talks and resources at these conferences!

February 2, 2012 - Parents and young adults are asked to join together to pray a Rosary and Chaplet of Divine Mercy near Cirilla’s, a pornography store, from 4:00 – 5:00.  We pray for a renewal in the virtue of chastity, that women and men will be rescued from the pornography industry, and that marriages and families will be protected from pornography.  We also pray for the staff and customers of Cirilla's.

We encourage you watch a short testimony of a ex-Playboy producer and an ex-pornography star, and to read an article called 10 Myths Exposed, which was written by a courageous woman who used to be in the pornography industry.  Women often experience sexual abuse and physical abuse while they are being filmed or photographed in pornography.

These prayer services are not to judge, condemn, or wag a finger, and please do not come if that is your motive.  The rosary is a safe distance away from the store, and inappropriate material is not visible.  Cirilla’s is located at 7528 State Ave. Kansas City, KS, which is next to the Kansas City Kansas Community College.  Bishop Ward Catholic High School plays its home basketball games at KCK Community College, and it is time to take a stand.  Here are photos and comments from a past rosary that we prayed there.

 

July 2010 - Click on photos for a larger view, and this may take a few seconds to download at first:

On July 2010, we were blessed to have Msgr. Michael Mullen and Fr. Scott Wallisch lead us in the rosary.  In the 4th and 6th photo, you can see a sign in front of Perkins that says "kids eat free," and I was reminded of the pain and confusion that my own exposure to pornography caused when I was 12.  I think of the many men I have counseled who started their pornography addiction because of magazines or videos that they found from their parents or at a friend's home when they were small children.  Our world desperately needs the true, good, and beautiful teachings of Theology of the Body to help people experience better joy and intimacy, and let's continue finding ways to provide hope.  - God bless, Sam Meier
