Speakers
Saturday, May 2, 2009 Dr. Cindy Peterson
On the spiritually guided writings of "Anne" plus the special role of Motherhood
|

Dr. Cyndi Peterson
How did a physician to the Navy Seals end up becoming a spokesperson for
Anne, a receiver of God’s word? Guest speaker, Cyndi Peterson, M.D.,
shared her story with Magnificat on Saturday, May 2. After suffering the
death of her two toddlers, Cyndi Peterson experienced her own Catholic
reconversion. She was “led” to meet Anne, a mother of six who has received
messages from Jesus, Mary and the Saints. Known as “The Volumes”, these
writings are filled with love, truth and are a wake-up call to our generation.
(All writings have been submitted to the Vatican and are under the scrutiny and
discernment of Anne’s local Bishop and priests).
Imagine Cyndi’s amazement when she “coincidentally” met Anne and was
then asked to serve as a voice in the desert for the spirit-inspired writings!
Cyndi began speaking about “Anne -- A Lay Apostle” to build awareness of
these heavenly messages. Cyndi was also invited to attend a personal
retreat with Anne and has come to trust that the Lord is truly speaking
through His humble daughter.
This was Cyndi’s encore appearance at our Magnificat, West San Fernando
Valley Chapter. She has been interviewed on EWTN, Ave Maria Radio and has
spoken at other Magnificat Chapters and parishes in the U.S. She has also
spoken at numerous Marian conferences as well as testified in Washington D.
C. against Embryonic Stem Cell Research.
Cyndi also shared her insights into the special vocation of Motherhood. This
mother of two boys who lost two toddler daughters before they reached the
age of three, knows the great pain, joy and precious moments children bring
into our lives.

Dr. Elizabeth Kim, Guest Speaker August 22, 2009
Just as our Lord healed the faithful while he walked the earth, Dr. Elizabeth Kim experienced an amazing physical healing as a young woman in Korea.
Dr. Kim now counsels those who are emotionally or psychologically crippled through the love of our living God.

DR. ELIZABETH KIM
When Dr. Elizabeth Kim was a young girl, received a miraculous
healing at the Korean National Charismatic Healing Service in 1978,
the same year she immigrated to America. This transfigured young
lady continues to testify about God's amazing power and real love for
His people. "Our Lady has always been my Mother and Intercessor,”
says Dr. Kim, who serves as an intercessor led by the Holy Spirit in
imitation of Mary.
Dr. Kim is a distinguished USC graduate, licensed psychologist and
marriage/family therapist whose practice integrates the Catholic Faith
with psychology in the treatment of children, adolescents and adults
with childhood trauma, abuse, depression, anxiety and AD/HD. The
Divine Physician has truly helped countless people through this
humble servant. As a Director of the Brain Fitness Center in LA and
Orange County, her multi-ethnic, dynamic practice is the perfect
setting for her vast experience in physical, emotional, and spiritual
healing which she places under the Lordship of Jesus, the Healer.
Dr. Kim has appeared on TV with Fr. Michael Manning speaking about
"Catholic Faith, Psychology and Shame." We are delighted to have this
recognized international speaker recount her own healing and those
of others at our next Magnificat meal…proof that God’s mercy is truly
with us!

Magnificat San Fernando ValleyA
Ministry to Catholic Women
Marilyn Quirk, Magnificat Foundress Special Guest Speaker Saturday, November 7, 2009

"I am an ordinary women," says Marilyn Quirk.
The Lord called this wife and mother of six
from New Orleans in an extraordinary way.
What started as a simple, one-time breakfast
with Catholic friends has turned into an
international Catholic women's ministry
recognized by the Vatican.
Come hear the special testimony of Marilyn
Quirk. Read more about her below.
While studying to become an Episcopal medical missionary, Marilyn converted to
Catholicism in 1958. This mother of six children and ten grandchildren is the
foundress of Magnificat®, A Ministry to Catholic Women. The ministry was
inspired by the Holy Spirit 26 years ago in New Orleans in a simple faith
gathering of friends on October 7, 1981 with the blessing of Archbishop Phillip M.
Hannan and Bishop Stanley J. Ott. Marilyn has been its leader, now with 70
chapters worldwide– in the U.S., Canada, Malta, Poland, the Caribbean and
Uganda, Africa and many in formation.
Marilyn has spoken at most of the chapters and has given talks on prayer and
Christian womanhood at seminars, conferences, days of renewal, and
retreats. Convinced of the inspiration and powerful influence for good that
women can have in the family, church, and society, Marilyn passionately believes
in the dignity and vocation of women. She often quotes the late Bishop Fulton
Sheen who said, “Women are the measure of civilization.”
Marilyn Quirk strives to live a life of devoted service to her God, her family, and
her church. She and her husband are members of the Knights of the Holy
Sepulchre and Legatus; in addition, they are extraordinary ministers of the
Eucharist in their church parish of St. Angela Merici in the Archdiocese of New
Orleans.
In the Jubilee Year of 2000, Marilyn Quirk received the Pontifical award Pro
Ecclesia et Pontifice on January 29th from Pope John Paul II. When Marilyn
received the award, she joyfully carried the women of Magnificat in her heart. We
are delighted to have the foundress of our spirit-guided ministry with us on
November 7, 2009 to close our Magnificat, San Fernando Valley 20th Anniversary
year.
