Dearly beloved friends in the renewal:

I greet you all with the joy of the Lord! Welcome to the 15th National

Convention of the Alliance of Filipino Catholic Charismatic Prayer

Communities. As we gather for this convention, may you experience the

inspiration and guidance of the same Spirit which guided the prophet

Isaiah when he wrote many centuries before us . . The Spirit of the Lord

is upon me. (Isaiah 61:1).

Congratulations to the Mid-Atlantic Regional Team for hosting this event, headed by Agnes Ne-

pomuceno and Fr. Louis Olive. I am cognizant of the tedious task that you and your team are un-

dertaking in running a convention such as this which demands sacrifices and prayers. Moreover, I

am certain that the Spirit of the Lord is upon you and us to bring to a wholesome end what you

have began laboring in the Lord.

There is no better way to conclude the Year of Saint Paul than for the AFCCPC Family assembled

here for this Convention to echo the prevaling words of the prophet . . . The Spirit of the Lord is

upon me. Saint Paul unrelentingly preached the good news of salvation, in season and out of sea-

son, even to the point of endangering his own life, yet eternally focused on the task Jesus had given

him on the road to Damascus . . I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting (Acts 9:5). Upon his conver-

sion, Paul was never the same again because the Spirit of the Lord was now upon him.

I pray for everyone during this Spirit-filled weekend and ask that you listen to the many talks pre-

pared for you and take them to heart. Share your faith journey with others for when two or three are

gathered in His name, Jesus is in their midst and His Spirit is upon them. Thank you all for your

presence. May we all continue to grow in the Lord. No mater what crises and challenges we may

encounter along the path to righteousness and holiness, always remember the comforting words of

Jesus . . My grace is sufficient for you (2 Cor. 12:9).

With my best wishes & blessings,

Fr. Ramon G. Valera

AFCCPC, Head Shepherd

Dear Sisters and Brothers in the Lord,

On behalf of the Alliance of Filipino Catholic Charismatic Prayer

Communities (AFCCPC ), I welcome you to our 15th National

Convention and to the beautiful City of Baltimore, MD.

The theme of this Convention which is “The Spirit of the Lord God is

Upon Me,” taken from Isaiah 61:1, is indeed very fitting. It is the Holy Spirit who gives us

strength and life, wisdom and knowledge and power, love, joy, and peace. It is He who

draws us closer to Jesus and gives us faith that can move mountains. It is the Holy Spirit, the

Advocate, who will make us become more like Jesus in every way. He is the Comforter and

the Paraclete, the uncreated Power of God.

As we gather this weekend, let us invoke the Holy Spirit to continue to pour out on us the

Grace of Pentecost in the same way that He did to the 120 people who were gathered in the

Upper Room 2,000 years ago. We claim by faith that the Convention Center here in

downtown Baltimore is the “Upper Room” this weekend during our Convention.

Let us continue to rejoice because our Heavenly Father has gathered us this weekend in

order for us to hear His words, to receive His healing touch, and to equip us so that we can

continue to do the works that He called us to do for His glory.

Have a Blessed and fruitful Convention!

God bless you all!

Bob Canton National Coordinator, AFCCPC

th

AFCCPC National Convention to you. “The treasure we possess in earthen vessels to make it clear that its surpassing power comes from God and not from us.” 2 Cor 4:7 “Because we possess this ministry through God‟s mercy, we do not give into discouragement” 2 Cor 4:1 We cannot take full credit for this undertaking. This is God‟s work! We are so grateful to God for finding the Mid-Atlantic Region worthy to plan and prepare for this conference inspite of our weaknesses and shortcomings. Now, we are convinced more than ever that we can do all things through God who strengthen us! In Christ, Carmen Sotto Bibian Encomienda Rod Vicente

Hello my dear friends in Christ:

Praise be to God,our Father Almighty, who has done great things

for us!

On behalf of our prayer community, the Joy in the Spirit of the

Lord, we send our sincerest gratitude to all of you present here at

the 15th AFCCPC National Conference. We are so blessed to be chosen to host this Spirit-

Filled event where all of us come together as one body in Christ .

The AFCCPC through the anointed leadership of Bro. Bob Canton had played a very impor-

tant role in our prayer community. We had experienced the love of God and His constant

presence in our daily lives.

What a wonderful and joyful experience it is to labor for the glory of God, our All in all.

The past two years of planning and preparation had increased our wisdom in our spiritual

journey , had honed our character to be good followers of Christ and definitely increased

our faith. It had opened our eyes to see what really matters in this earthly life.

„The Spirit of the Lord is upon me..”

We pray that as you leave to go back to your daily duties , that the Holy Spirit will light up

your life and remain in you always. May the people around you see God in you!

June 26, 2009 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, It is a greet pleasure to greet you all on the occasion of your National Conference at the Baltimore Convention Centre. As the President of ICCRS (International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services) I personally send you good wishes and I also assure you of the love and prayers of all the staff at the ICCRS office in Rome. We are united in prayer with you from the heart of the Church. It is a great blessing for us to have Br Bob Canton as one of our ICCRS Councillors. He is a faithful servant of the Lord and has done so much to serve the Catholic Charismatic Renewal throughout the world. Through him, we at ICCRS are delighted to have a strong link with the Alliance of Filipino Catholic Charismatic Prayer Communities. We thank God for your enthusiasm and joy and pray that you continue to grow strong and mature in the Lord through gatherings such as this wonderful conference. The theme of your gathering, Isaiah 61:1 „the Spirit of the Lord is upon me‟ is truly inspired. Isaiah presents this as the mission of the prophet. We know that this text was also pivotal in the life of Jesus. After his baptism when Jesus was filled with the Spirit, he was then led by the Spirit and encountered temptation in the desert. After he had triumphed over the evil one he returned to Galilee with the power of the Spirit in him. When he proclaimed these words of Isaiah in the synagogue in Nazareth he declares his missionary manifesto and begins his public ministry. My prayer for all the participants gathered for the conference in Baltimore is that you too would receive a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit and be strengthened for the mission to which God is calling you. May you all receive a new strength and confidence and be empowered to take what you receive back to your home situations. May God bless, inspire and protect you, with all good wishes, Michelle Moran

Dear brothers and sisters,

Blessings and all the best from the ICCRS Office in

Rome.!

It is a joy for me to have this opportunity to greet in the

name of Jesus all of you participants to the AFCCPC 15th National Conven-

tion in Baltimore.

I love the theme that you have chosen for the Convention: "The Spirit of the

Lord is upon me" (Isaiah. 61:1).This "word" is really true for all among us

that have done a real experience of the Holy Spirit. When the Spirit is "upon"

you everything is new in your life: even if you are tired you have strength,

even if you are afraid you become courageous, even if you are poor, can give

much, even if you are suffering you give joy to your neighbors.

The Holy Spirit is what we need to be alive!

I pray for each of you for a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit during these

days.

In His love,

Oreste Pesare

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

May the love of God the Father be with all of you today and always!

It is again a great blessing to be asked to send this greeting to the National Convention of the Alli-

ance of Filipino Catholic Charismatic Prayer Communities as you gather for your 15th National Con-

vention. On behalf of the National Service Committee of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal I want

to greet all the participants and speakers, among whom is Fr. Richard Loch, Chairman of the Na-

tional Service Committee.

Your theme “Holy Spirit Descend Upon Me”, taken from the prophet Isaiah‟s “The Spirit of the

Lord is upon me” (61:1), which was so significantly repeated by our Lord Jesus Christ when he first

stood up in the synagogue in Nazareth before he was rejected (see Lk 4:16-30), is vitally important.

We too must rely in new and deeper ways upon the Holy Spirit for the witness we must give in these

days and times.

I know that your coming together will be a time of fellowship and communion with the Lord and

one another. May it also be a time to reflect more deeply on the challenges we face and the call to

evangelize.

As our beloved Pope John Paul II wrote to us, “We must revive in ourselves the burning conviction

of Paul, who cried out : „Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel‟ (1 Cor 9:16)….The missionary

mandate accompanies us into the Third Millennium and urges us to share the enthusiasm of the very

first Christians: we can count on the power of the same Spirit who was poured out on Pentecost…

(Rom 5:5)” (Novo Millennio Ineunte 40, 58)

Be renewed, be empowered and then go forth in His Name.

In Jesus, our Hope,

Walter Matthews

Dear Charismatic Community:

As Spiritual Director of the Joy in the Spirit Prayer

Group, I welcome you to the 15th National Charismatic Con-

vention! Indeed, I welcome you all to Baltimore, Maryland.

The Spirit of the Lord is really present among us.

The theme, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me (Isaiah

61)” has been providentially chosen by the Holy Spirit through

Bro. Bob Canton. We have tried to develop all the talks and

workshops around that theme. I find it coming together beautifully. I find the talks and workshops

very practical and hopefully we can get much out of them.

We have developed the theme around the three feasts of the Blessed Mother we are celebrating

these days namely, the FEAST OF OUR LADY OF KNOCK (Ireland); FEAST OF OUR MOTHER

OF PERPETUAL HELP; AND THE FEAST OF THE VIRGIN OF ANTIPOLO. The Holy Spirit

was especially upon the Blessed Mother and we hope that through her the Holy Spirit will come

upon you and your family.

We have spirit-filled speakers. We are especially happy to have Bishop Tagle and Bishop Mad-

den here with us. We know that the Holy Sprit will speak powerfully, loudly and prophetically

through them and all our speakers. We know you will give them your closest attention.

We ask you not to forget to celebrate the Sacrament of Confession with any priest who is walk-

ing around, they are here for you. Also, the Blessed Sacrament is in the Prayer Room on the 3rd

floor. Please do not leave the LORD alone.

We have really worked hard to make this Convention a success! I myself witnessed with love

the typing of labels and sticking them on your envelopes. I noticed the long hours of work of our

prayer group. Thanks to them and we hope you enjoy the fruits of our work!

Finally, let the Holy Spirit be upon us this weekend. Let Mother Mary be with us. Let charity

reign. They say, “Baltimore is what it‟s all about.” We say, “The Holy Spirit is what it‟s all about.”

May He be in our Hearts in a Special Way this Weekend!

Sincerely,

Your Spiritual Director,

Fr. Louis Olive, CSs.R

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Let me extend a warm Baltimore welcome to all of you

attending this 15th National AFCCPC Conference. I am a

Permanent Deacon here in the Archdiocese of Baltimore, and

a Spiritual Advisor for the AFCCPC.

Those AFCCPC regional and national conferences I have attended in the past have been

a rich source of blessing for all attendees. I pray that this 2009 national conference will be a

powerful, even life-changing experience for those who make the sacrifice to be here and

receive the Lord‟s transforming touch.

Our conference theme, “The Spirit of the Lord is Upon Me” [Is 61:1], is appropriately

chosen. With the 2009 Feast of Pentecost occurring less than 30-days ago, we recall with

excitement that first Pentecost when the Lord poured out the fire of His Spirit on all flesh

and the transformation of the world began with new faith, new hope, new love and new

spiritual gifts. I believe the desire of God‟s heart is to once again pour out His Spirit upon

us at this conference—to give us power from on high.

What do we do with this power? We go! We proclaim, “Jesus is Lord!” We become His

witnesses! We build His Kingdom. We strengthen His Kingdom. We extend His Kingdom.

We bring glory, honor and praise to His holy and redeeming name!

May the Lord richly bless you all as you experience the manifestations of His Kingdom

here in Baltimore.

Your brother in Christ,

Deacon Dean Lopata

Robert Canton was born in Cebu City, Philippines and he came in the United States in 1973 after graduating from College with an Accounting degree. Since 1973, he has been residing in Stockton, Ca. with his family. Robert received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit in Nov.1984, an experience with the presence and power of the Holy Spirit which changed his life totally. On December 8, 1984, he received prophecies or messages from the Lord about his future involvement in world-wide ministries of preaching, teaching, and healing. In March 1985, he was asked to as-sume the role of a servant leader for the Children of God Prayer Community, St. Luke's Parish, Stockton, Ca., a role which he still holds. In 1989, the prayer community started a monthly Mass and Healing Service which is still going strong until now. In 1996, the Alliance of Filipino Catholic Charismatic Prayer Communities in North America was formed and elected "Brother Bob"(as he is fondly called by friends and associ-ates) as the National Coordinator. In 2006, he was elected as a Council Member of the Vatican-based International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services(ICCRS) to represent the English speaking North America, Central America, and Caribbean countries starting in 2007. He is one of the 14 Council Members representing all the continents of the world to serve the worldwide Renewal through ICCRS and they meet at least once a year in the Vatican. He is also a member of the Association of Christian Therapists and the Filipino Pastoral Council of the Stocton Diocese. Brother Bob has spoken at various regional, na-tional and international conferences and conventions and has conducted retreats, semi-nars, Days of Renewal, Healing Rallies and Crusades not only in North America but also in Asia, Europe, Africa, and Australia. He is highly recommended by his bishop, Stephen Blaire of the Stockton Diocese, Bishop Oscar Solis of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, and Fr. Matthew O'Donnel, pastor of St. Luke's Parish, Stockton, Ca. Robert also founded the Robert Canton Ministries, a non-profit organization whose aim is to evangelize the entire world through teaching, preaching, and healing in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. .



Dean Lopata was ordained a permanent deacon for the Archdiocese of Baltimore in 1996. He has been a Spiritual Advisor for the AFCCPC for over a decade. By the power of the Holy Spirit, Dean had a mid-life conversion experi-ence that dramatically altered the course of his life. He has been active in the Charismatic Renewal since 1981. The love of God, Pentecost and the fire of the Holy Spirit continue to be the primary motivators for Dean‟s ministry efforts.

Jim Murphy was born in Wyandotte, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. While a senior in High School, Jim made a decision to surrender the rest of his life to Christ. This decision had a major impact on every aspect of Jim's life. In 1976 he received his bachelor's degree in Social Work from Wayne State University School of Social Work in Detroit. Since that time, Jim has worked in the Catholic Church in various capacities: As a member of parish pastoral teams; in youth ministry on parish, diocesan, and na-tional levels; religious education; sacramental preparation; parish missions; consult-ant and facilitator for many groups; and as an International conference speaker. Jim has been extensively involved in Charismatic Renewal and was the chairman of the National Service Committee from 1993-1996. In 1992, inspired by the American Bishop's pastoral letter Heritage and Hope, Jim successfully completed an 18 month, 4,200 mile journey on foot, carrying a cross across America in an effort of prayer and evangelization. Jim has authored a booklet entitled 17 Steps Toward Better Communication With Your Teen. Jim, his wife Susan, and their son John Patrick currently reside in Michigan.

Patti Gallagher Mansfield was a participant in the February 1967 “Duquesne Weekend” which marked the beginning of the Charismatic Renewal in the Catholic Church. From the earliest days of the Renewal she has served as a leader through teaching, writing and pastoral ministry. Patti‟s testimony has been widely published and she has been a speaker at conferences and retreats for laity and priests in the United States and around the world. She is a frequent guest on Ralph Martin‟s tele-vision program: The Choices We Face. Patti has authored several books including: Proclaim His Marvelous Deeds, As By ANew Pentecost: The Dramatic Beginning of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal with a Foreword by Cardinal Suenens and Mag-nificat: AMother’s Reflections on Mary. Patti is married to Al Mansfield, Coordinator of the Catholic Charismatic Re-newal of New Orleans, Louisiana, and is the mother of four children. She and Al serve together in pastoral leadership of a weekly prayer meeting and an annual Catholic Charismatic Conference. The Mansfields are Liaisons to the Archbishop of New Orleans for the Charismatic Renewal and are recipients of the Papal Medal, Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice (For the Church and the Pope). Patti was asked by the Pontifical Council for the Laity to thank Pope Benedict XVI on behalf of all the ecclesial movements and new communities before a crowd of 400,000 people in St. Peter‟s Square on the vigil of Pentecost, 2006.

Grace Bernardo. Vice National Coordinator,Youth Affairs-East Coast,AFCCPC Almost immediately after her baptism in the Holy Spirit ( blizzard of 1993) she devoted all her time in ministry: organizing and facilitating Life in the Spirit seminars, Growth seminars, Leadership seminars, Healing and Reconciliation services, re-treats, recollections, speaking in conventions and conferences in the US, Canada and the Philippines. In the past 16 years, she has founded and helped established several commu-nities and ministries: Our Lady of Peace Prayer Community, Amazing Grace Sing-ers, Lighthouse, Voice of Grace Bible Study Group, Immaculate Conception Prayer Group (ICPG), and Pater Noster Youth Ministry (PNYM).

ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE HOLY SPIRIT

On my knees before the great multitude of heavenly witnesses, I offer myself soul and body to Thee,

Eternal Spirit of God. I adore the brightness of Thy purity, the unerring keenness of Thy justice,

and the might of Thy love. Thou art the Strength and Light of my soul.

In Thee I live and move and am. I desire never to grieve Thee by unfaithfulness to grace,

and I pray with all my heart to be kept from the smallest sin against Thee. Mercifully guard my every thought

and grant that I may always watch for Thy light and listen to Thy voice

and follow Thy gracious inspirations. I cling to Thee and give myself to Thee

and ask Thee by Thy compassion to watch over me in my weakness. Holding the pierced Feet of Jesus and looking at His Five Wounds

and trusting in His Precious Blood and adoring His opened Side and stricken Heart,

I implore Thee Adorable Spirit, helper of my infirmity,

so to keep me in Thy grace that I may never sin against Thee.

Give me grace O Holy Ghost, Spirit of the Father and the Son,

to say to Thee always and everywhere, "Speak Lord, for Thy servant heareth."

Amen.

MARY’S LOVE AND OUR LORD’S BLESSING

Our Mother of

Perpetual Help

O Mother of Perpetual Help,

grant that I may ever invoke thy

most powerful name, which is

the safeguard of the living and

the salvation of the dying. O

Purest Mary, O Sweetest Mary,

let thy name henceforth be ever

on my lips. Delay not, O Blessed

Lady, to help me whenever I call

on thee, for, in all my needs, in

all my temptations I shall never

cease to call on thee, ever repeat-

ing thy sacred name, Mary,

Mary. O what consolation, what

sweetness, what confidence,

what emotion fill my soul when I

pronounce thy sacred name, or

even only think of thee. I thank

God for having given thee, for

my good, so sweet, so powerful,

so lovely a name. But I will not

be content with merely pro-

nouncing thy name: let my love

for thee prompt me ever to hail

thee, Mother of Perpetual Help.

Our Lady of

Antipolo Most Holy Virgin of Peace and Good Voyage, well dost thou merit these two excellent titles; -- exercise them in our favor to the greater honor and glory of God. Obtain for us that peace which your Blessed Son left in the custody of His Apostles, a peace with which, pardoning our enemies the many offenses they have committee against us, we may love all our neighbors with true love and Christian charity. Obtain for us peace of heart and soul so that our desires will not rebel against reason, or our reason against God. And, while we are all travelers and strangers in this valley of tears, be Thou our guide so that amid the many pitfalls which surround us, and the many dangers which beset us, we may, by the observance of the divine commandments be able to take the royal road that leads to glory. Free us from the snares of the devil so that with Thy protection we may be able, in the hour of death, to reach the happy end of our travel and enjoy for eternity the glory of Thy most sweet company as also that of the Divine Son. Amen.

Our Lady of

Knock

Our Lady of Knock, Queen

of Ireland, you gave hope

to our people in a time of

distress and comforted

them in sorrow. You have

inspired countless pilgrims

to pray with confidence to

your divine Son, remember-

ing His promise: "Ask and

you shall receive, Seek and

you shall find". Help me to

remember that we are all

pilgrims on the road to

heaven. Fill me with love

and concern for my broth-

ers and sisters in Christ, es-

pecially those who live with

me. Comfort me when I am

sick or lonely or depressed.

Teach me how to take part

ever more reverently in the

holy Mass. Pray for me now,

and at the hour of my

death. Amen.

Prayers to our dear Mother Mary from:

Greetings from CANA Marriage Renewal Movement

(Tuklasan community)

CANA’s mission is to to draw on marriage as a means to evan-

gelize the home, the parish, the workplace, and society as a

whole. The entry-point is a weekend retreat whose main goal is

to enhance the relationship between couples by making God an

active participant in that relationship. CANA believes that a

good marriage is the foundation of a solid family life and that

children are generally happier and more secure in a home where

there is a demonstrated love between the parents. This mar-

riage spirituality is deepened by prayer, study, service and

community, which are CANA’s main activities after the weekend

retreat.

Dear Lola/Mom,

We feel your loving presence today and always.

You will forever be in our hearts.

Danny Batac and Grandchildren Olivia – Cole – Caleb – Sophia – Jordyn



It’s where we find peace, comfort, and friendship as we gather and grow in love, spirit and truth. It’s the time to be when we seek and yearn for God - and learn to forgive, heal and be restored. It’s where we feel the love of Jesus through the sin-cere expressions of the member’s genuine love and concerns for each other. We

are blessed because we give ourselves freely, openly, and wholeheartedly in pray-ing, praising, singing and serving our glorious God. Come and see!
