boot campShortly before his death, Pope John Paul II asked all the bishops of the world to have trained exorcists in every diocese. Bishop McCrath chose a priest to be the exorcist of the Diocese of San Jose, assisted by a few other priests and mental health professionals, including Fr. Kevin Joyce. Fr. Kevin will explain the scriptural foundations and practice of the ancient ministry of deliverance from evil spirits.
