Canton Event to Celebrate Mother Angelica’s Life & Legacy
Meet Raymond Arroyo, Marcus Grodi,
Dr. Ray Guarendi, Mother Assumpta Long, & More!
The EWTN global Catholic network will host its 2010 family celebration on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 9 and 10, at the Memorial Civic and Cultural Center in Canton, the hometown of EWTN founder Mother Angelica.
Come enjoy a roster of well-loved speakers, including EWTN’s “World Over” Anchor (and Mother Angelica’s best-selling biographer) Raymond Arroyo; “Journey Home” host Marcus Grodi; Dr. Ray Guarendi, host of EWTN Radio’s “The Doctor Is In,” and Mother Assumpta Long of the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, whose order hosts the EWTN children’s catechetical series, “Truth in the Heart.” “Bookmark” host Doug Keck will be master of ceremonies.
As a special bonus, those attending on Saturday night will have the opportunity to participate in a special live show celebrating Mother Angelica’s life and legacy, which will feature all of the speakers, as well as select members of the audience.
EWTN President and CEO Michael P. Warsaw, Deacon Bill Steltemeier, Father Anthony, and Father Joseph Mary Wolfe will be on hand for the popular “Family Talk.”
In addition, children will be entertained by “Roamin Catholic” host Rob Wahl and his sidekick, Pete the Penguin, as well as Brother Leo of “Hey, Brother Leo” fame. All will appear at the “EWTN Faith Factory” booth throughout the weekend.
“Older kids” can browse the EWTN religious catalogue shop, line up to “meet the Author,” and perhaps obtain a signed copy of Arroyo’s new book, “The Prayers & Personal Devotions of Mother Angelica.” The book may be ordered now from the EWTN religious catalogue at http://www.ewtnreligiouscatalogue.com and brought to the signing.
Doors to the free event will open at 8 a.m., and there will be plenty of opportunities for confession, as well as Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
