Father Charles Becker is a priest of the Archdiocese of Chicago. Three years after his ordination in 1986 he was invited to go to Medjugorje. Upon his return he was introduced to the prayer group format of the Marian Movement of Priests based on Our Lady's messages to Fr. Stefano Gobbi of Milan , Italy . These experiences coupled with his consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in October 1990, began to change Father's whole perspective on his life as a priest, of the Church and of the world. He began developing rosary prayer groups throughout the Archdiocese in response to Our Lady's call to prayer in order to assist others who had similar experiences. The prayer groups are formed in response to Our Lady's request to form Cenacles of Prayer as indicated in the Marian Movement of Priests. Father has assisted approximately 40 trips to Medjugorje and has participated in the International MMP Cenacle Retreat with Fr. Gobbi the last 10 years. Father was just asked this summer by Fr. Gobbi to assist as Co-Responsible to Fr. Roux, National Responsible (Director) of the MMP in the U.S. Father has been a guest homilist on EWTN.
