We hope to see you for this years Pre Lenten Rretreat at the peaceful Saint Thomas More House of Prayer located at 365 Hill City Rd, Cranberry, PA 16319.

Retreat Master:

Fr. Kevin Barrett was born in Chicago, IL, the youngest of 5 children to an Irish American Catholic family, on April 7, 1954.

He graduated with a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Notre Dame in 1976; a baccalaureate degree in theology from the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome in 1991; and did post-graduate studies in Christian counseling at Franciscan University of Steubenville from 1991-92.

After college he worked at Northwestern University Hospital in Chicago, first in the Institute for Psychiatry, and later in the emergency room. He also spent 3 years working as a paramedic on the Chicago Fire Department. Both work experiences hastened a much needed conversion, prompted by both his earthly and heavenly mothers!

After pilgrimages to Lourdes, France and Fatima, Portugal, he began serving in a lay family movement, the Apostolate for Family Consecration, in the Diocese of Steubenville, OH, in 1982.

Upon completing his seminary studies, he was ordained a priest on Holy Trinity Sunday, June 14, 1992, in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome by His Holiness, Pope St. John Paul II, to serve as chaplain of the family movement until 2016.

After spending five years in missionary parish work in the Diocese of Cheyenne, Wyoming, he has returned to resume the role of AFC Chaplain as of April 7, 2020.
