TICKETS ARE AT EVENTBRITE: CLICK HERE. Fr. Gary Thomas, an experienced exorcist, explains the rite of exorcism and deliverance ministry. He shares how people come to have problems with evil spirits, and how we can avoid them and be freed from them. In 2005, his bishop asked Fr. Thomas to take training in Rome for the rite of exorcism. There, Fr. Thomas was an apprentice to Fr. Carmine De Filippis, a veteran Italian exorcist, and Fr. Thomas learned the reality of evil as never before.
His training was the subject of the Hollywood movie, The Rite, starring Anthony Hopkins, and the book, The Rite: The Making of a Modern Exorcist by Matt Baglio. Fr. Thomas is the pastor of Sacred Heart Church in Saratoga, California, and the Exorcist for the Diocese of San Jose.
