Deacon Doug

There is a Plan for you no matter what you are going through.

Recognized as a motivational and spiritual speaker and an author with an MA in Theology.

I join the ranks of the reluctant prophets, preachers, and servants of God.

Pilgrimage Testimony

Published: Thursday, December 19, 2024

November 2024 - Receiving Pope Francis’ firm handshake and look of love, joy and compassion gave me a strong confirmation of growth and commissioning to go forth with his blessing..

Thank you to the Holy Name of Jesus Catholic church of L.A, my supportive ministries and friends.

I am grateful to be among those chosen pilgrims of ESNE, El Sembrado, The Sower Ministry.

I am filled with the bold faith of Pope Francis, the miraculous Saints, Francis of Assisi and St. Padre Pio; as well as the wonderworking power of the Holy Spirit to go forth boldly where I have never gone before and do what I have never done before.

I literally put your prayers on the altar of the Church of the Holy Spirit in the Vatican after meeting the Pope, and I will continue to pray for you and your family.

May the Joy of the Gospel always be with you

Thought For The Day

God's Timing

Published: Saturday, October 12, 2024 11:35:20 AM

Faith isn't about having all the answers but trusting that the answers will come. Be open - yielded - and ready to be drawn deeply into God's love at the right time and place. This gives peace and confidence on the inside.

My work in the Office of Restorative Justice

Creating a vital space for growth and discovery to support church ministries, leaders, organizations, and individuals.

There is a Plan for you no matter what you are going through. I join the ranks of the reluctant prophets, preachers, and servants of God. In my youth, I never dreamed of growing up to become an ordained Deacon in the Roman Catholic Church, assigned to Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church, Los Angeles, as an advanced Catechist, revivalist, retreat director, conference speaker and servant to all communities.

Recognized as a motivational and spiritual speaker and author with a master's degree in Theology. My work in the Office of Restorative Justice ministering to the pastoral and temporal needs of victims of crimes, who are marginalized and disenfranchised has challenged me to preach to those who are victims of despair, hopelessness and fear.

This journey has shaped my preaching style, which is grounded in scriptural exegesis, personal testimony, and a pastoral call to action. Through deep personal encounters with Jesus Christ, I have come to firmly believe in the Lord's power to "set the captives free." My passion for the Lord continues to fuel my commitment to sharing His message with others.

Messages From The Spirit (book)

Sheree Brown's long-awaited book Messages From The Spirit introduces powerful stories of overcoming by young adult women. Inspired by Sheree's young adult years it includes the music CD for her previously released album on Expansion Records, Messages From The Spirit...The Collective (which produced a number one song on the UK Soul Charts, "Take A Walk With Love"). Here the music is dedicated to the storytellers and highlights recordings featuring some of those storytellers.... This project's intention is to use music, art, theater and the telling of one's story to uplift, inspire, and promote healing. The art is by renowned artist Charles Bibbs.

Messages From The Spirit touches on various challenges that young adult women face; mental health, loneliness, lack of self-esteem, depression, suicide, etc. and provides tools and resources that can help us address triggers that may surface during the healing process. Further, this project effectively demonstrates the mentoring cycle. Sheree believes that we are all mentors and mentees at some point in our lives. And we never know how who we are, and how our actions can subtly become a mentoring experience for someone else. We can positively make a difference in the lives of others.
