Date: Saturday, October 24th, 2026 EVENT ENDED
The Courageous Parents Brunch was a great success and we thank everyone who helped make that happen. In the near future we will have the presentations available on our Rumble Channel.
A special thanks goes to Life Legal for being a sponsor of the event; thanks also to CORAC for being a vender and to Everflora for providing the table decorations!
If you missed the event you also missed the fantastic silent auction made possible by the hard work and talent of Patricia Altier who managed a very successful silent auction!
To our volunteers: You're the best! We can't do this work without you!
Courageous Parents: Protecting Children in Mind, Body, and Soul
We were honored to welcome two outstanding speakers who stand boldly at the intersection of faith, family, and culture:
Dr. Michelle Cretella is a pediatrician, researcher, educator, writer, and speaker. She is past Executive Director and current Adolescent Committee Chair of the American College of Pediatricians, a pediatric spokesperson/educator for the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons and Catholic Medical Association, consultant to the Rhode Island Family Institute, and board member of Advocates Protecting Children and the John Paul II Academy for Human Life and the Family. She has peer-reviewed for several medical journals. Dr. Cretella is on the front lines of pro-life and moral issues, especially in the medical field, and brings clarity and courage to the challenges facing Catholic families today.
Fr. Robert J. Altier has served in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis since his ordination in 1989. He has lectured throughout the Twin Cities and is nationally known through his EWTN series “The Fundamentals of Catholicism” and his devotion to the Eucharist and to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Both of their talks were excellent. The feedback was very positive. Thank you Dr. Cretella and Fr. Altier!

Holy Face Devotion
WEAPONIZE THE WOUNDS OF JESUS CHRIST: The Holy Face devotion is a
spiritual weapon given by Jesus Christ to combat evil – communism and
atheism. The core prayer of this devotion causes demons to tremble and flee,
and is considered a mini-exorcism that allows God to fight the battle for you!
Take up this devotion and become a member of the spiritual army, who pray to
counteract the blasphemy and profanations that Jesus Christ suffers daily in modern society.
Our Motto
Maintain the Truth Lovingly and Always Love Truthfully. – Saint John Paul II
