The ORACLE Conference: The Path of the Suffering Savior – JESUS CHRIST
The ORACLE Conference is our most recent program, aiming to empower people to pray with vigor and clear understanding. Participants gather in person or online for this soul-searching event that lasts for 3 days.
Its main highlight is the unique and insightful teachings of Sr. Dr. Oralisa Martin about the meaning of the 15 Stations of the Cross. Each discussion stirs emotions by engaging participants in the suffering of Jesus Christ while empowering them to overcome their crises in life. Prayer services, meditations, testimonies, Scripture readings, spiritual activities, and a Eucharistic celebration are also held. Sr. Dr. Oralisa Martin gives her testimony:The ORACLE Conference: The Path of the Suffering Savior: JESUS CHRIST comes out of my experiences with Catholics who participate in rituals with minimal understanding of the deep meaning behind what they pray, believe, and celebrate. As a result, too often I have heard comments such as: Sister, it doesn’t do anything for me, or I’m not being fed. What I continue to hear is that Catholics don’t understand what is going on in Catholic rituals, and they do not see themselves growing.
What are we to do? What can I do? I can educate. I can take familiar devotions like the Stations of the Cross and teach their meaning. I can bring freshness to the prayer experience; appeal to you intellectually, help you to make informed decisions, and identify with the Stations through your emotions and life’s experiences. I can get you on the Path that leads you into an authentic encounter with the suffering Savior, JESUS CHRIST.

Activities: WWW Letter writing serve as a means of dialogue between Jesus and His woman. Small group praying and sharing make for strong community bonding and fellowshipping. At the banqueting table women share delicious soul food meals: dinner, breakfast, banquet, and brunch.
WWW: Well Women Witness
Description of WWW ProgramWWW: Well Women Witness is a Women’s Conference Retreat. It is a weekend experience of Catholic/Christian women gathered with the intent of encountering Jesus Christ. The WWW Conference is based on THREE women in the Bible: 1) The woman with the alabaster box (Matt. 26: 6-15), 2) The Samaritan woman at the Well (John 4:1-42), and 3) The woman beneath the Cross of her Son (John 19:25-30). The overriding experience is “Encountering Jesus Christ!” Each day begins with a powerful opening WWW Prayer Service. We women gather at the Well, or with our alabaster boxes, and personal crucifixes. We bless each other in the Name of Jesus Christ, invoking the Holy Spirit to “stir the waters.” We carry our alabaster boxes with perfumed oil for the reconciling anointing. We are an ARMY rising up as prayer warriors for our children (bring photo).
The Meditations: A mirror meditation, rock meditation, Cross meditation and Closing Mass all lend themselves to women “Encountering Jesus Christ.”
Commissioned to “Witness to the Glory of God,” Well women, Second-Line with umbrellas as they sing: “When the Saints Go Marching In!”
Joined by the “Cloud of Witnesses” Well women, like the woman at the well, run out and declare to others, “Come! Come and see...” And others will know for themselves: “...truly Jesus is the Savior of the world.” They will go to family, friends, in parking lots, super markets, even clubs to share their WWW experience, “Encountering Jesus Christ.”

The History of the WWW Program:WWW: Well Women Witness began at the Basilica of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception in Norfolk, VA. of the Diocese of Richmond, VA. There, a hundred four (104) African American and African women gathered at the Well!
As a national program, WWW was able to travel to parishes and dioceses and catechize Black women who longed for spiritual growth. From 2015 to the present WWW found its way from the Black Basilica in Norfolk to Washington, DC @ St. Teresa of Avila 3X’s, Incarnation Catholic Church (DC) (3X’s), New Orleans, LA (Hosted St. Mary’s Academy), Wilmington, DE, (St. Joseph Catholic Church, Fr. Paul William, OFM -pastor), the Diocese of Pittsburgh (Dr. Greta Stokes Tucker), returning to DC @ Centro Maria Center (DC) Feb., 2018, and in DC Incarnation Catholic Church, Fr. John Carroll, SSJ (October 27, 2018). Numerous women have returned to WWW three (3) to eight (8) times.
A book, Well Women Witness ~ Letters from Christ authored by Sr. Dr. Oralisa Martin, was published in 2018. WWW Small Groups emerged as a result of Women’s individual experiences of letter writing through the book.
With life’s “normal” interrupted by COVID-19, WWW: Well Women Witness now returns with a new vigor. Instead of the one Biblical text of the Samaritan woman, there are now three women. Instead of a one-day retreat, WWW is a weekend conference retreat. Instead of ministering to locals, women travel from abroad to attend the Conference.

ORACLE Revivals
In the late Eighties and early Nineties, Catholic Revivals were in vogue, accompanied by gospel music in Black Catholic Churches. In response to this, Sr. Oralisa founded the ORACLE Revivals (1993). She currently designs packets in collaboration with pastors and revival teams to meet the needs of parishes or dioceses requesting ORACLE’s services. As an evangelist, Sr. Oralisa preaches and spiritually ignites a Catholic assembly. The congregations, comprising African-Americans, European-Americans, Hawaiians, Hispanics, Filipinos, and Belizeans, are to their feet.
It’s through the ORACLE Revivals that Sr. Oralisa’s healing ministry took off. People were healed on-site; the blind would see, and the physically disabled would lay aside their crutches and stand up from their wheelchairs to walk. Before COVID-19 more than 25 ORACLE Revivals have been celebrated nationwide. Sr. Oralisa aims to resume the ORACLE Revivals ministry in 2022.

ORACLE National Summer Institute for Youth
The ORACLE Youth Institute is a 2 1/2-week summer, residential, co-ed program for high school students that’s comparable to a retreat with a Christ-centered atmosphere. The prayer services, Bible studies, liturgical celebrations, and fellowships serve as the impetus to a unique, life-changing experience.
The institute enables our Gen Z to encounter Jesus Christ with miracles taking place before their eyes. Participants even learn how to pray and live within a community. The program also serves as a laboratory for life with 17 workshops, 8 seminars, and several field trips. These provide the content and substance for faith development, discussions, value clarification, orations, drama, and debates.
Through the ORACLE process, young people discover who they are in Christ and their purpose in life. The program trains our Gen Z for leadership and service within their schools, parishes, and diocesan boards.

ORACLE Mystagogia Institute
“Mystagogia” refers to an exciting new approach to lifelong Christian formation. In the first centuries of the Church, the newly baptized had a period where they deepened their knowledge of Christ’s birth, life, passion, death, resurrection, and ascension - the events forming the Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, and Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary. The ORACLE Institute uses this RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) approach to invite all Catholics to a much deeper plunge into the truths of our Christian faith.
The curriculum for the ORACLE Mystagogia Institute is based on the liturgical seasons within the given year A, B, or C liturgical cycle. The consecutive Liturgical seasons are identified as: Advent covers the memorable expectation of the 1st Coming of Christ to humanity; and anticipation of Christ’s 2nd Coming at the end of time.Christmastime covers Jesus’ birth to His Presentation in the templeOrdinary Time covers Jesus in the Temple, Jesus’ Baptism, and Jesus’ Public Life Lent - 40 days: Ash Wed., to five consecutive Sundays, to Palm Sunday of the Passion, to Thursday morning Triduum (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Resurrection Sunday)Easter Season – Resurrection of Jesus to His Ascension into Glory to PentecostPentecost covers the manifestations of the Holy SpiritOrdinary Time – The action of the Holy Spirit forming the Christian Church
