Lecture: "The Secret of the Holy Face" with Fr. Lawrence Carney
Father Lawrence Carney was ordained for the diocese of Wichita in 2007. For five years, he took to the streets to save souls with a Crucifix and a Rosary and was known as the ‘walking priest.’ He served as chaplain of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles and knew Sister Mary Wilhelmina Lancaster who now, after her death in 2019, appears to lay incorrupt at the abbey in Gower, Missouri. In 2017, Father Carney began the League of St. Martin, an association of the faithful that prays for reverence, reparation, and reversions. The chief goal is to promote the Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus, to save souls and society.
