EWTN Global Catholic Network's Family Celebration Comes to Phoenix

EWTN Global Catholic Network's
Family Celebration Comes to Phoenix

Highlights include a 'Don't Miss' Panel Discussion on Religious Liberty with Phoenix
Bishop Thomas Olmstead, EWTN President Michael Warsaw & Others, Moderated by
EWTN News Anchor Raymond Arroyo, & a Special Q&A

Irondale, AL (EWTN) – It's fun, it's free, and it could change your life! The EWTN Global Catholic Network comes to the Phoenix Convention Center Sept. 8-9 for its annual Family Celebration – and this year, one of the highlights will be a special panel on religious liberty, which will include a Question and Answer session for the audience and media who attend.

Panelists on the Religious Liberties Panel will include Phoenix Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted, EWTN President & CEO Michael P. Warsaw, Arizona Catholic Conference Executive Director Ron Johnson, Alliance Defending Freedom CEO & General Counsel Alan Sears; Phoenix Physician and Catholic Medical Association President Dr. Marci Moffit, and EWTN News Anchor and Panel Moderator Raymond Arroyo. The program will begin at 2:30 p.m. Mountain Time, Saturday, Sept. 8.

EWTN was the first religious entity to file suit against the federal government after the HHS mandate was finalized. The mandate requires religious employers and people of faith to provide coverage for abortions, contraception, and sterilization, which is against their faith – or face crippling fines. Hear more about pending lawsuits and learn about all the ways that religious freedom is being threatened in our own country.

But that's definitely not all. The two-day celebration will include a roster of well-loved speakers, including "World Over" Anchor (and Mother Angelica biographer) Raymond Arroyo; "Journey Home" Host Marcus Grodi, "EWTN Live" Host Fr. Mitch Pacwa, and the former Rosalind Moss, now Mother Miriam of the Lamb of God.

In addition to this stellar lineup, Saturday night attendees will have the opportunity to participate in the live taping of a special "Life on the Rock."

Warsaw will provide the welcome and will join the Friars for the always popular "Family Talk." Bookmark Host Doug Keck will serve as Master of Ceremonies.

Mass will be celebrated by the Friars on Saturday and, on Sunday, EWTN is honored to announce that Bishop Olmsted has agreed to serve as our celebrant.

Throughout the weekend, fans will have opportunities to get books signed at the "Meet the Author" booth, meet EWTN's hosts and the Friars at the "Family Corner" booth, and browse the EWTN Religious Catalogue shop.

Doors will open at 8 a.m. As always, there will be plenty of opportunities for the Sacrament of Reconciliation as well as Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. It's a day no fan of EWTN will want to miss – and, best of all, it's free!

EWTN Needs our help

EWTN: A DIVINE MERCY BEATIFICATION

I am sharing the email I received today:

Dear EWTN Media Missionaries, I hope you are as excited as we are about the upcoming events planned for the Feast of Divine Mercy this year. It was only 6 short years ago that our beloved Pope John Paul II passed away on the vigil of  Divine Mercy Sunday , a feast he officially instituted in the year 2000. How fitting that we will now be celebrating his beatification on the same feast day! EWTN brings you a grace- filled day of programming incorporating the Beatification and Divine Mercy Sunday. It will be a historical day that you won't want to miss!  VIGIL IN HONOR OF THE BEATIFICATION OF POPE JOHN PAUL II*  Live from the Circus Maximus, a vigil organized by the diocese of Rome which had the Venerable Servant of God as its bishop. The vigil will be led by Cardinal Agostino Vallini, His Holiness' vicar general for the diocese of Rome, while the Holy Father Benedict XVI will be spiritually present through a video linkup. BEATIFICATION OF POPE JOHN PAUL II*  Pope Benedict XVI presides at the Rite of Beatification for Pope John Paul II from St. Peter's Square. EWTN news anchor Raymond Arroyo hosts special live coverage of this historic event.  DIVINE MERCY PREVIEW SHOW*  A preparation for the celebration of Divine Mercy, hosted by the Marians of the Immaculate Conception, from the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy.
