CONFIRMED Speakers and Guests to date: - Bishop Thomas Tobin, Bishop of Providence Celebrant and homilist at out litrugy
 - Deacon Alex Jones  Alex Jones was an
"on-fire" Pentecostal minister in Detroit who was a completely dedicated
shepherd of his flock. He greatly loved his people and they loved him. In
seeking to give his flock the most genuine experience of the early Church prayer
and worship services, he carefully read Scripture, the Fathers of the Church and
writings of the early saints. The more he read, the more Alex came to the
startling conclusion that the present day Catholic Church - and the Holy Mass -
is the same exact "worship service " from the very early Church. Alex began to
share his findings with his parish, and eventually Alex, and most of his parish,
joined the Catholic Church. His book, No Price Too High: A Pentecostal
Preacher Becomes Catholic, is his incredible story of a black Pentecostal
minister's challenging and dramatic spiritual journey, and the flock that
followed him. Today he preaches with his usual passion about Christ - as a
Catholic deacon! The book tells the story of Alex's life from his childhood all
the way to his conversion to Catholicism in 2001. It simultaneously tells the
story of his wife, Donna, and her spiritual journey as well, which shows how
they were not always on the same path during Alex's preparation for entering the
Catholic Church. Each had to be personally, deeply convinced that this
momentous, life-changing and career-changing spiritual decision was God's will
for them.
