Exploring the Unknown: “The LIFE Beyond the Veil of Death”

In a world filled with questions about what lies beyond our final breath, the St. Angela Merici Parish Hall is opening its doors for a profound afternoon of reflection. On June 20, 2026, the Divine Mercy Ministry and the Southern California Renewal Communities (SCRC) will jointly host an event titled “The LIFE Beyond the Veil of Death.”

This gathering promises to be more than just a lecture; it is an invitation to explore the mysteries of the afterlife through the lens of faith, personal testimony, and theological inquiry.

An Expert Perspective

The event features Dominic Berardino, President of the Southern California Renewal Communities, as the main speaker. Berardino will lead attendees through a series of compelling and often-debated topics, including:

What Happens When We Die? – A foundational look at the transition from this life to the next.
Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell – Navigating the traditional concepts of the afterlife.
Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) – Examining what we can truly know from those who have stood at the threshold.
Death-Bed Visions – A discussion on after-death visitations and the thin line between worlds.

Local Voices and Community

Adding a personal touch to the afternoon, Angel and Estrella Mijares, leaders of the Divine Mercy Ministry, will share their own testimonies. Their insights aim to provide a grounded, communal perspective on these spiritual mysteries.
