Fr. Lawrence Carney

Father Lawrence Daniel Carney III is a Catholic priest ordained for the Diocese of Wichita in 2007. Known for his distinctive street evangelization, he walks U.S. cities in a cassock, carrying a crucifix and rosary to engage souls in conversation and conversion.

In 2014, he became chaplain to the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles, and in 2017, he founded the League of St. Martin—a pious association promoting reverence, reparation, and reversion through devotions like the Holy Face and the Rosary.

He is the author of The Secret of the Holy Face: The Devotion Destined to Save Society, a book that explores the spiritual power of this devotion in confronting modern societal and ecclesial crises.
