WWCCR celebrated its 45th Anniversary on November 19th at St. Pius Church, Mountlake Terrace, WA. Father Jay DeFolco was the guest speaker and RIC4 supplied the music.

The MC was former director of WWCCR, Sue Gallwas. She gave Father Cal Christiansen, a phone call. Fr. Cal is pastor of St. Pius Church but is presently studying in Boston. He shared how his life was changed by the Holy Spirit.

Fr. Jay, pastor at Holy Cross Parish in Lake Stevens, was invited to a prayer group in 1975 and was prayed over by Howie Jones who prayed, “Let the Fire Fall”. He stated, “We need our churches ignited and our lives purified in this world of darkness. We need a deeper walk with God.”
