As a Catholic priest in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Father Jeffery Fasching ministers to the third largest Hispanic parish in Tulsa. Offering traditional Latin Mass for parishioners, Rev. Jeff Fasching practices prison ministry and exorcisms.
In the Catholic faith, an exorcism can be performed on someone who believes he or she is possessed by demons. When committing to an exorcism, a Catholic priest makes a public request to higher powers to release a person from the hold of evil. The Catholic Church refers back to the Rite of Exorcism for how one is to be performed.
The Rite of Exorcism, updated in 1999 by the Vatican, calls for a Catholic priest to dress in a purple stole and surplice to carry out an exorcism. The priest traces the sign of the cross over himself and the sufferer and sprinkles Holy Water over everyone present. The priest then uses a series of statements, prayers, and appeals to demand that the devil release itself from the human’s body.
