Marino Retrepo: Marino Restrepo is a Catholic lay missionary from Colombia who travels the world sharing his testimony. Marino was born a Catholic but disregarded his faith at an early age and embraced all the self-seeking illusions of the world. He chose to experience a life of drugs, unhealthy relationships and New Age philosophies. His acting/musical career led him to Hollywood where he was a producer and musician. Marino was kidnapped by guerrilla rebels of the FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) and held captive in the jungle for six months. They told him they would kill him once they had received ransom for his kidnap. During this time, he had an illumination of conscience and converted. He managed to escape and first thing he did was go to confession. Marino will come to the Parish on the 6th August and talk at 7pm. Please view one of his talks below.  https://youtu.be/KiX4Op94JFU?si=N-KKSUnLXLdsfBDX
