Holy Family Communications, which runs both stations, is hosting the Aug. 15 conference, titled "Lord and Giver of Life: The Person and the Power of the Holy Spirit," to celebrate its 10th anniversary. HFC has recruited 80 priests to assist Buffalo Bishop Edward U. Kmiec as he celebrates Mass during the conference. The conference will take place at Buffalo's HFC Arena.

Fr. Corapi was been forced to curtail his public speaking events due to illness, and this conference is the only one scheduled for him so far this year.

At the conference, Father Corapi will give four presentations, titled "Theology of the Person and Power of the Holy Spirit," "The Gift Who Contains All Gifts," "The Holy Spirit is Given to Those Who Obey," and "The Spirit We Have Been Given is No Cowardly Spirit."

At last report, more than 10,000 people from 45 states as well as Canada, Australia and the Philippines already have purchased tickets for the conference.

Tickets to the conference are still available. You purchase them by calling 1-888-223-6000 or visiting www.fathercorapilive.com.
