He has appeared on many major television specials and has received countless awards for his inspiring music and personal accomplishments. | |

The International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima has travelled around the world since 1947 and has been seen by millions. Cures and miracles of conversion have occurred along the way. On more than thirty occasions it is reported to have shed tears. The statue will be on display throughout the conference, and Carl Malburg (custodian of the statue) will give a talk on its history. | |

Msgr. Ben Franzinelli is cofounder of the Medjugorje Information Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, which has sponsored Marian conferences and talks by Medjugorje visionaries.
