Fr. Mark Beard passed away in a car accident on August 2, 2023. In his testimony for the Fruits of Medjugorje series, Fr. Mark shared the story of his life and his journey to priesthood. After university, Fr. Mark started working for the family business Beard Engineering and United Industries which deals with manufacturing and engineering wastewater equipment. While their business grew rapidly, Fr. Mark’s parents, both devout Catholics, saw that their son was going astray. At the insistence of his father, Fr. Mark came to Medjugorje, a village in the southwest of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where Our Lady has been appearing since 1981. Fr. Beard shared with us how that pilgrimage and his first encounters with visionaries Vicka and Ivanka changed his life. To learn more about Fr. Beards legacy go to www.ourladyofhopems.com

    I was able to wander through YouTube and find this priest doing a homily. I listened to a few of his homilies before his early death. In just listening to him for 5 minutes, I felt the true blessing of God in his heart and soul. Thank you for posting the conversion of his life to our Lord. He lived a full, entertaining life and realized he belonged to Jesus Christ, a true blessing. I thank him for having touched my life with his faith, prayers, and love 🙏💜.
