FR. KEVIN BARRETT Retreat Master: Ordained in 1992 by Pope John Paul II,
Fr. Kevin is Chaplain of The Apostolate for Family Consecration. He is a dynamic
homilist with powerful messages for families.
MICHAEL O’ROURKE Married 24 years and a father of 12 (2 in Heaven), he boils
over with enthusiasm for the Faith. In 2001, he and his family attended a Holy Family
Fest at the Apostolate for Family Consecration’s Catholic Familyland and the experience
changed his family’s life forever. Michael is now a Life Member of the Apostolate for
Family Consecration and has presented the Apostolate’s ‘Message of Hope’ and ‘Family
Catechesis’ talks nationally & internationally.
CATHOLIC CORPS MEN & WOMEN The AFC Catholic Corps (CC) are dedicated
celibate (lay and clergy) members of the Apostolate for Family Consecration (AFC),
who have received a call from Christ, to lay down their lives in singular devotion to
Him and His Church. They do this through a life of consecration to support family life.
The CC’s promise to Christ a life of poverty, chastity and obedience, according to the
AFC’s spirituality and charism, to Jesus, through Mary, in union with St. Joseph. To be
a member of the Catholic Corps means is to follow Christ in discipleship and sharing
the joy of belonging to a ministry and a community that is of one heart and one mind
in prayer and mission. The CC’s are ordinary people living an extraordinary way of life.
They are answering the call to serve, joyfully abandoning all for Christ.
