Fr. Larry is available for speaking engagements on a very limited basis. He is available to do Parish Missions, conference talks, youth rallies, and retreats. He is also available to come into a parish for a one-night talk. For more Information call 814-452-2982.
Parish Missions
Fr. Larry has done many parish missions. Because of his own parish commitments he cannot come to a parish unless the parish has at least 1000 families. The typical mission starts by Fr. Larry speaking at all the weekend masses and then having talks from 7pm-9pm beginning on Sunday night and running through Wednesday night. The themes for these nights are as follows: Sunday Night is God’s Love and Prayer. Monday Night is in the context of a Mass and this deals with love of others. Tuesday Night is the talk on the passion of Christ and the need for confession, and is followed by confessions. Wednesday Night is on Adoration and healing and is done in the context of Eucharistic Adoration and a healing service. There is a full outline that explains all this in greater detail that you can request to be sent to you.

He is very open to coming and speaking at men's conferences especially on the need for repentance and confession, prayer, love of families, Mass, etc. Fr.
