Liber Christo Ministry
L
iber Christo is a ministry that assists those
who approach the Catholic Church seeking
relief f rom suspected extraordinary diabolical
affliction (infestation, oppression, obsession or
full possession). It follows traditional Catholic
liberation practices of prayer, discipline, sacra-
ments and if necessary, exorcism. The goal is
reconciliation with God the Father, liberation,
and ultimately salvation.
The deacons are involved in intake, annul-
ments, catechesis, mentoring, teaching and
facilitating classes, RCIA, and participating
in prayer sessions. For more information see
liberchristo.org online.
Men's Spirituality Ministry
D
eacons at different parishes lead Men's
Spirituality Groups. They have used
programs such as "That Man Is You!," "Catholi-
cism," "Be a Man," "The Second Greatest Story
Ever Told," "Exodus 90," and "Roman's VI" for
sexual purity amongst others. The deacons
organize the volunteers to run the program
which normally includes an opening prayer,
possibly a video on a topic relating to men's
faith, and large and small group discussions
(men at tables of 8-10). The discussions and
videos relate to the pressures and tempta-
tions in today's society. The meetings also may
include a light meal.
The deacon will lead the group in prayer as
well as lead the large group and small group
discussions. He organizes the volunteers to
provide setup, clean up, coffee and perhaps
food.
