“How To” New Communities Conference
December 6-7, 2012
For many years, followers of the Medjugorje phenomenon have asked for this, and now, you can come to Caritas of Birmingham for the first ever of several “How To” conferences, “How to Begin a Constitutional Praying Village,” and many other “How To’s.” Hosted by A Friend of Medjugorje and other special guests whose answers will help you “set out.”
This conference specifically relates to and is advertised in the latest Medjugorje book They Fired the First Shot 2012™ and is “only open” to those who have completely finished reading the book. The conference is something that will not be understood by those who have not read and finished the book completely! Therefore, admittance into the conference comes with the requirement of a full read of the book. The conference is the next step after reading the book. Any who accompany you to the “ ‘Starting a Small Community’ Conference” must also have read the book. This applies to all ages, 16-years and above.
For more information or call 205-672-2000 or stay close to Medjugorje.com
“How To” New Communities Conference
There will be a small admittance fee to the conference to help cover the expenses of hosting the conference. We will provide lunch on December 6th and 7th. The conference will begin on the 6th, at 8:00 AM sharp, and you will need to be there by 7:00 AM to get your name badge, or to register.
Single Adult by himself – $65.00
Husband and Wife – $50.00 per spouse = $100.00
All youth other than infants if they will be eating lunch here – $10.00 per individual (this includes older children who are coming with their parent or parents).
There are many hotels nearby Caritas to stay at during the conference. In addition, we invite everyone who is coming to the conference to also stay for Caritas’ annual December 8-12 Medjugorje prayer gathering, “The Reconciling of Ourselves, Our Families, and Our Nation Back to God.” We hope you will come for the conference and stay until the 12th.

Less Than An Acre?
Learn December 6-7th how to, with “less” than an acre of land, have a dairy cow for milk, feed out a beef steer, raise chickens for meat and eggs, and feed out a hog or two. All with only the land mass of a large subdivision lot. You’ll be pleasantly surprised and amazed, even see it as miraculous how simply and easily this can be achieved. It is like the multiplication of the loaves and fishes. This can work for a family or a community as well, where land is very limited!
The “How To” New Communities Conference is open only to those who have completely finished reading They Fired the First Shot 2012. As you know, the impact of the book is ruined if one skips ahead to discover the solution before reading the first half of the book. One must graduate in understanding from one page to the next in order to fully understand when one arrives at the plan of action. It is the only way to read this book. The same would be true of those who haven’t finished the book but want to attend the conference. Do not bring anyone with you who has not read the book in its entirety. Youth of any age can attend the conference. However, any youth age 16 or older (14 year olds have read the book) who have not read the book are welcome to come as part of your family and be on the grounds during the conference, but they will not be able to participate in the actual conference sessions unless they have read the book (16 years old and above). Lunch will be together with everyone.
Also, those who attend the conference should be 100% in unity with the directives given in the book. The conference is not a place where we will be debating about these directives. Our Lady has given the solution, and the battle plan laid out in the book is clear. If one does not agree with the book that is ok, and we respect your position. But do not attend. We are looking for one thought and one heart to set in the hearts and minds of people a fire as stated by Samuel Adams:
“It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people’s minds.”
If you plan to attend please print and fill out the conference sign-up form below. Send the form back to Caritas with the appropriate admittance fee for your party. You will notice that the form includes an oath that you and everyone who will be attending the conference with you have completed the reading of They Fired the First Shot 2012 or will have finished reading it before attending the conference, and that you understand that if someone cannot testify to that, then they will not be allowed to participate. We will not be making any exceptions at the conference for those claiming they did not know or just weren’t quite able to finish the book on time. If you know other people who would like to attend the conference but did not receive this mailing, please call us with their information as soon as possible so we can send them a form as well. You may want to provide your friends with the hotel information immediately so they can book a room as soon as possible.

1. No Immodest Dress 5. No Cameras
