CRS Edmonton Spring Conference 2026

May 29–30, 2026

Strengthen Now My Hands
Nehemiah 6:9

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.” 2 Tim 3:1

Perilous (Greek – chalepos) – hard to bear, grievous, (even fierce, extreme)

Jesus warned us that a dark, dark night is coming. Because of His love, mercy and grace, He’s giving us an opportune time to be prepared.
Let us not be deceived by any casual walk with the Lord.
Let us be equipped and empowered through the Holy Spirit to face the increasing and intensifying darkness and stand firm in the Lord.
Let us walk in intimate relationship with Him.
Let us rise up as the militant church, the ecclesia, to establish Christ’s dominion in the world.
Let us be strengthened in Him and the power of His might.
Let us become like Joshua and lead others to cross over into God’s plans and purposes – the needed boldness, courage and strength; a company of people, focused, intentional, with steely resolve.
Let us be about the Father’s business, building God’s sanctuary, that He may dwell among us (Ex. 25:8) and occupying until Christ comes (Luke 19:13).

God’s focus is not how dark evil becomes but how Christ-like His Church becomes, Christ’s light in each dispelling the darkness. Who is willing to be transformed as to become mighty champions as our Warrior King Jesus? “He who believes in me, as the scripture said, From His innermost being will flow rivers of living water.” John 7:38

The Catholic Renewal Services invite you to our Pentecost conference. Come and cry out for a burning fire to fan into flames in hearts, for wells of revival to break open and spring up into rushing streams of water to transform our world, that we move into great awakening and reformation of our households, our church, our cities, our nation.

“Let your hands be strong – (Zech 8:9) Our only HOPE is in Him!

Come, Holy Spirit, come! Come, Lord Jesus, come!

Featured Speaker

Maria Vadia

Born in Havana, Maria Vadia was 10 years old when she and her family fled to Miami to escape the Communist regime in her native country. She attended Catholic schools and was a Sunday Catholic with no personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Later married to a wealthy man, she was gripped with materialism; yet in the midst of everything that the world had to offer, she felt an emptiness deep within her heart.

Maria's life was radically changed when she was baptized in the Holy Spirit in 1987. She consecrated her life to Jesus and to the preaching of the Gospel. In spite of great adversity, the Lord has been with her like a mighty warrior (Jeremiah 20:11).

Active in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal of the Archdiocese of Miami, Maria has spoken at many conferences and has traveled extensively around the world in over 30 nations, carrying a message of faith, salvation and healing. She is Founder of the ‘Jesus is Lord’ Chapter of Magnificat in Miami, a ministry to Catholic women, and is connected with Glory House of Miami, a safe haven for human traffic victims.

As Founder of The Glory of God Foundation, Maria is committed to making Jesus known to the nations by the preaching of the Gospel in the power and demonstration of the Holy Spirit. This foundation is currently helping the Pygmies of Uganda to construct homes suitable for human living. It is Maria's desire to see the Catholic Church restored to the beauty of the Bride of Christ with miracles, signs, and wonders. She and her team have been helping God’s people enter into deeper worship and experience the Glory of God. Together with Fr. Tom di Lorenzo, she also sponsors two main events annually: The School of the Holy Spirit and Days of Glory conference.

Maria has authored eleven books: "There’s Power in Your Tongue", “Pressing on in The Spirit”, “An Arrow in His Hand”, “Healing is for You”, “Break Open Your Wells”, “ Miracles in the Glory”, “Victory in the Eye Gate”, “No More Orphans”, “Jesus Man of War!” and “Created to be a Champion and her latest book is Fire Power.
