Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers to speak at Worcester Diocesan Men’s Conference

Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers, known internationally as “The Dynamic Deacon,” is a sought-after speaker in the Church today. (The organizers of the Worcester Diocesan Catholic Men’s Conference have had to wait over two years to bring him to Worcester). He is a powerful and passionate evangelist and preacher, whose no-nonsense approach to living and proclaiming the Catholic faith will challenge and inspire those who hear him.  
His areas of expertise include marriage and family life, discerning the will of God, the sacraments, male spirituality, evangelization and prayer, among others. He is to deliver two original talks at the conference this year.
A former police officer and chief, Deacon Burke-Sivers cohosts the national weekly broadcast “Living Stones” on Mater Dei Radio, hosts his own daily radio program, and is the creator of “Walk By Faith Wednesdays” webinars, a weekly hour of Catholic catechesis and teaching.  
In addition, he is the host or cohost of several popular series on EWTN television and is the author of six award-winning books.
Retaining a deep love of Benedictine spirituality which he gained during his time discerning a call to that religious community, Deacon Burke-Sivers is a Benedictine Oblate of Mount Angel Abbey. He is also a member of the Fellowship of Catholic Scholars and the Confraternity of Catholic Clergy.  
The annual Worcester Diocesan Catholic Men’s Conference will be hosted at the DCU Center on March 16. The day begins at 7:30 a.m. with registration, followed by the rosary at 8 a.m., music at 8:30 a.m. and the welcoming and prayer at 8:45 a.m. In addition to Deacon Harold-Sivers, other speakers include James Wahlberg, Michael Nicholson and Msgr. Thomas J. Sullivan
The conference also offers the opportunity for men to go to confession at the lunch break, to solemnly reflect in the all-day adoration chapel, and to visit over 50 vendors who will be there. The day concludes with a 4 p.m. Mass celebrated by Bishop McManus.
