"BEHOLD YOUR MOTHER" John 19:27
November 11-13, 2011
Marriott Hotel Ottawa
Guest Speaker: Terry Modica
Terry is a wife, mother, Catholic book author,
Executive Director of Good News Ministries, Lay Associate of the Paulist
Fathers and an international speaker.
Terry converted to the Roman Catholic Church in 1977, drawn in by the Eucharist. After years of struggling to trust the Blessed Virgin Mary’s role in the faith, Jesus gave her a personal relationship with His Mother in a way that she describes as miraculous.
Terry was involved in many ministries within the Catholic Church and eventually her ministry turned toward a new direction, which became the founding of Good News Ministries. Soon afterward, Jesus led her through her personal Way of the Cross, which proved that after every crucifixion comes a resurrection.
Terry has been studying Catholic teachings since her conversion and has earned a degree in Theology. She was certified in Pastoral Administration by the Diocese of Trenton, NJ, in 1992, and in Lay Pastoral Ministry by the Diocese of St. Petersburg, FL, in 2003.
As a speaker, Terry has taught workshops and directed retreats since 1989 and has gained a reputation for inspirational teaching and spiritual leadership. In 2004, she traveled to Malawi in Central Africa to spend a week at a seminary teaching John Paul II's encyclicals on the Eucharist and on the Rosary. In 2010, she spent three weeks in New Zealand giving seminars and retreats.
Terry’s Motto: “Keep your eyes on Jesus and view everyone else through His eyes.”
