Awake: Spiritual Warfare – Pushing Back the Darkness

by Dan Burke

Registration for Avila Summit 2019: Awake is officially open to the public. The Summit will be held this coming July 12-14 at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Hanceville, AL, and will be your chance to join together as an Avila family and be inspired. The Avila team has, once again, been hard at work with the goal of paving the way for all of us to be able to get together, be inspired, be fed, and be sent on a mission at the 2019 Avila Summit.

Our theme for the Summit is “Awake: Spiritual Warfare – Pushing Back the Darkness” and includes featured talks by Fr. Chad Ripperger, Fr. Bill Watson, Dr. Anthony Lilles, Paul McCusker, Kathleen Beckman, and myself.

We have designed this event to be intimate to allow for as much facetime as possible between all present. As such, we are limiting the attendance to just 250 participants and over 150 registered who attended last year. And, if you have ever wanted to visit the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament, founded by Mother Angelica, now would be the perfect time to do so.

Please also consider joining us for the Avila Summit Cocktail Hour Friday evening. Join Dr. Anthony Lilles, the Avila Summit Speakers, myself and the Avila Team for this exclusive event. Enjoy hardy Trappist beer, cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and dessert (items served support monasteries and convents) as well as time to converse in an intimate setting. All proceeds go towards the High Calling Program and other endeavors within the Avila Foundation.

We have less than 50 seats available, so, if you would like to attend, please do not delay in registering.

To register or get more information, visit Avila-Institute.org/avila-summit-2019 today. For questions, call 833-77-Avila (833-772-8542) x 3 or email events@myavila.com.

On behalf of the Avila Team, I very much hope to meet you and your family in person this July. This will be an unforgettable weekend for us all.

Unum Necessarium,

Dan Burke
