Fr. James conducted a retreat at Graz Austria from 19th to 21st August.
The theme of the retreat was 'We are hidden with Christ in God' (Col 3:3)

he was able to give them powerful and deeper conferences on the identity
of a true Christian. There were some Croatians also to attend the retreat.
The talks were translated into both languages. Miss Margaretha Dorfler
made the translation into German and and Mrs Christine & Darko into
Croatian. It is a team of Mrs Traude Schrottner, Mr. Gerhard Kornhuber,

was a beautiful music group under the leadership of Beata Muller. On Sunday,
the last day of the retreat Fr. Florian Parth the Charismatic leader of
Austria presided over the concelebrated mass and preached. There were enough
priests to hear confessions and give counselling. After the prayers of
inner healing and infilling of the Holy Spirit people were very happy and
went out with the decision to organise many such retreats and evangelise
Austria and Croatia! There were many testimonies of healing, conversion
and new life in Christ. Here are some photos & Videos:-

Oborach - Poland. July 23rd. 2022
On 23rd July Saturday, Fr. James conducted an evangelisation program at
the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Mother of Sorrows at Oborach, Poland. He was
invited by Rev. Fr. Piotr, the director of the sanctuary. It is for the
seventh time that Fr. James went there to preach and to conduct healing
prayers for thousands of pilgrims gathered.
The theme he preached was, "Do whatever He tells you" (Jn 2:5). During
the mass there was a heavy outpouring of rain but no one moved from their
seats! Rain or wind did not deter them from hearing the word of God or
receiving the Holy Spirit. They were worshipping Jesus with singing
and dancing in spite of the inclemency of the weather. People from all
over the country were gathered there as usual. Many of them had been to
the retreats of Fr. James in the past.Here are some photos and videos.

people here were very simple, smiling, innocent and open-hearted to the
Word of God; they are not polluted by the today's city fashion! - they
have their own culture &dialect typical of their village. Each family
is blessed with 5 to 8 children, hence on the last day when many children
gathered for mass and adoration, the ground looked heaven touching the
earth! Fr. James gave powerful talks on living an authentic Christian and
Catholic life without any mask or pretence.Sitting on the wheelchair, he
prayed over all participants including some 500 children. He even visited
and prayed over some very sick people bedridden in their homes. All his
talks and prayers were translated by Mr. Thomas Ksiazczak from Torun. The
retreat was organised by a married couple Wioletta & Tomasz Kuchta
with their three children Katarzyna, Stanislaw & Jan. All the participants

2022
Fr. James conducted " a married couples retreat"at Olomouch in Czech Republic
from 24th to 26th June 2022. The couples were eager and enthusiastic to
renew their marital committment by listening to the authentic teaching
on marriage from God's words in the light of the teaching of the Catholic
church. Father James gave powerful conferences on the need of love&
unity in the family by the work of the Holy Spirit that is poured into
our hearts .(Rom 5:5) He said clearly that a Christain cannot expect any
blessing from God if he does what God hates; for God hates divorce.( Mal
2:16)
He made the couples to talk face to face and open the heart to each
other asking pardon& giving pardon. He spoke to them clearly that God
cannot forgive in the Sacrament of Confession unless we forgive each other
and reconcile. There were powerful healing prayers. There were several
moments Fr. James asked the couples to lay hands on each other and pray
for healing and infilling of the holy Spirit.
On the last day during the mass, they were asked to renew the marital
vows with the same formula they used at their wedding. The priests blessed
the wedding rings that the couples exchanged. Many were shedding tears
of joy as it was felt more in their hearts than on their wedding day. Many
of them testified that it was more than a wedding day for them! Fr. James
prayed over each couple and their children. Mrs. Maria and her musical
team empowered and strenghtened the spirits of the couples with powerful&anointed
songs; and even the children were singing in the holy mass!
The retreat was organised by "Credo" , the Catholic evangelising team
in Czech& Slovakia, founded by Radek& Zuzanna Lapcic. Mr. Radek
could not be present as he had a serious operation on his eye. But his
wife Zuzanna was there to translate all talks, homilies and prayers and
to guide the retreat. As she had to be with her husband on the day of his
operation, Hanna substituted her on the first day. With great experiences
of love, unity, peace, joy and power, the married couples left to their
homes on Sunday with firm decision for a new married life in Christ Jesus(
2Cor 5:17) . Here are a few photos and videos:
