2024 Banquet: Fr. John Riccardo
We would like to thank everyone who attended our annual Ruah Woods Institute Banquet. It was a great success, with over 800 people in attendance. We appreciate your ongoing support to the ministry as it enables us at Psychological Services to continue to offer compassionate care to those in need.
Fr. John Riccardo is a missionary and ACTS XXIX Executive Director. He was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Detroit in 1996. In 2019, after 23 years in parish ministry, he founded Acts XXIX to proclaim the gospel in an attractive and compelling way and to equip clergy and lay leaders for the age in which God has chosen us to live. Fr. John is a graduate of the University of Michigan, the Gregorian University, and the Pope John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and the Family. Fr. Riccardo provided an insightful reflection on our times and an inspiring call to action. For those of you who missed it or would like to revisit Fr. John Riccardo’s keynote, a link to the full recording is forthcoming.
