Briege McKenna (born 1946[1]) is an Irish-American Catholic nun, Christian mystic, and faith healer.
Life
McKenna was born in Newry in Northern Ireland. Her father was a tenant farmer. She joined the Poor Clares convent at age 14. Two years after her religious profession she was sent to Tampa, Florida, as a teacher, and for her health. She claims she was cured of rheumatoid arthritis at age 24[2][3][4] during the celebration of the Eucharist at a charismatic prayer meeting. McKenna recounts having received the gift of healing in prayer. She is also known as an evangelist.[5][6]
Ministry of Intercession for Priests
In 1974, McKenna claimed she received spiritual inspiration to work with priests. She holds retreats and seminars, and has worked with around 1000 priests.[7][8]
McKenna ministered to priests in collaboration with Father Kevin Scallon C.M. from 1985 to 2018.[9] She continues this ministry with Father Pablo Escriva de Romani, running retreats in Palm Harbor, Florida.[10]
She was the global rapporteur for an international retreat for priests at the Vatican.[11] In 1988, she was given Franciscan University's Poverello Award, and in 2009 the Outstanding Leadership Award of the Catholic Leadership Institute.[12]
McKenna is one of the spokespersons of the Marian messages broadcast from Medjugorje,[13] following a faith-healing experience at an international conference in 1981.[14]
