Our main speaker has been a professor for over 45 years at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, having taught a variety of theology courses specializing in Catholic Doctrine, Church History, the Teachings of Vatican II and St. Pope John Paul II, Ecclesiology, Pneumatology, Apologetics, and the Theology of the Holy Spirit. He had a major role expanding the undergraduate program, distance learning, and founding the graduate program. Dear to his heart is spiritual renewal in the Church in the spirit of St. Francis. Dr. Shreck has spoken at numerous conferences for laity, religious, and academics all over the country and has appeared on EWTN television many times. Outside of class he belongs to a charismatic community and is a member of Triumph of the Cross Church. He is not only a scholar, but also an athlete, a runner who has helped coach the track team. Despite being so busy, he and his wife Nancy raised five children and have 13 grandchildren The men who attend his two presentations at the Men’s Conference will receive some fascinating insights about how to live in the power of the Holy Spirit, beyond what we learned as boys and young men in catechism and preparation for the sacrament of Confirmation often many years ago. Dr. Schreck will explore such points as: Who is the Holy Spirit?; What is His role in the Holy Trinity?; How can the Holy Spirit be a most valuable resource and help us in our daily lives?; How and when do we pray to Him? The goal for all of us is to accept the universal call to holiness, to be more effective Christian leaders and servants of God and His people as well as good husbands and fathers.
