Sr. Briege McKenna, O.S.C. was born in Ireland and entered the Sisters of St. Clare at the age of fifteen. Following her final vows and after suffering for more than three years with rheumatoid arthritis, she was transferred to her community in Tampa, Florida with the hope that the Florida sunshine would relieve her suffering. At the age of twenty-four, she was miraculously and instantaneously healed during the celebration of the Eucharist and some time later received, in prayer, the gift of healing for which she has become so widely known. In 1974, again during prayer, she was given a deep spiritual insight into the mystery of the call to priesthood. Since then, bishops and priests in many parts of the world have invited her to speak and minister at their retreats and conferences.

 

Sr. Briege ministered to priests in collaboration with Fr. Kevin Scallon, CM for over forty-two years until his death in June 2018.


 


 

 

 

 

She now continues with this ministry working with Fr. Pablo Escriva de Romani, a priest of the Archdiocese of Madrid, also working as a missionary in the Diocese of Limon, Costa Rica.

Sr. Briege's books “Miracles Do Happen” and “The Power of the Sacraments” have been translated into many languages throughout the world.
