ABOUT Rev. Fr. Dominic Valanmanal

Rev. Fr. Dominic Valanmanal is a Roman Catholic Priest belongs to the Diocese of Kanjirap- pally, , . He was ordained as a priest in 1998. When he was a seminarian got an extraordi- nary spiritual experience through the Word of God and started his Preaching and Deliverance Ministry in 1995 itself. The name of his ministry is “Grace Anointing Ministry”. In his Services as in the time of Apostles God does miracles like casting out of demons and healing of serious diseases.

By the graceful encouragement from the diocese, Rev. Fr. Dominic founded a spiritual retreat center named “Marian Retreat Centre” at Anakkara, , Kerala state, India on 9th, February 2009. Bishop H. E. Mar Mathew Arackal Supported him with 7 more priests. Rev. Fr. Dominic is the Director of Marian Retreat Centre. Under the spiritual leadership of Rev. Father around 250 disciples including priests, nuns and laymen are serving at the Retreat Centre. In this materialistic world, his ministries create overwhelming and dynamic spiritual transformations in the lives of people around the globe.

Because of his charisma Holy Spirit sends him to all Continents to spread the Logos. He has done his missionary journey in around 35 countries. He has conducted Retreats and Bible Conventions in the U. S. A, Canada, Australia, the U. A. E, France, Italy, the U. K, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, New Zealand etc. He is a God-Chosen prophetic teacher preached the Gospel of Je- sus Christ in almost all states in his native country, India. Now he is one of the most gifted and renowned exorcists in the Catholic Church. His enthusiasm is to preach the Good News all over the world and deliver God’s people from the diabolical bondage of de- mon and moreover provide people the awareness of Eternal Life with God in ecstasy. His only aim is to renew the earth in the light of the Word of God. He is inviting everybody to repent and put away their former way of life and to clothe themselves with the new self, created according to the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

After all by the support of Kanjirappally Diocese Fr. Dominic is continuing his tireless journey around the world with the might of the Fruits and Gifts of Holy Spirit and through his Retreats, Conventions, Online Programs and T V Programs he prepares all the peoples for the Second Coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. He predominantly gives his Sermons on “The Power of Ten Commandments,” “The Power of Eucharistic Sacraments,” “The Power of Holy Mass,” “The Power of Holy Orders,” “The Value of Family Life,” “The Value of Life and the Life After Death” etc.

Now Rev. Fr. Dominic is a Powerful Missionary of Jesus Christ in the world; he has a major position in “The World Evangeli- sation”. He is the Prophet of the time. His charisma is ‘Gift of Deliverance’ and ‘Healing through Sanctification.’ His all talks and Bible classes are on the basis of Catholic teachings centered on the Holy Eucharist. He has completed almost 22 years of his Preaching Ministry. His only motto is “Go into all the world and proclaim the Good News to the whole creation.” (Mark: 16/15) He has an intense thirst for the lost souls; with the sublime presence of Holy Trinity and Holy Mary he keeps on his Preaching errands all around the globe and allures huge crowds.

I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us. (Romans: 8/18)
