The Dublin-based Vincentian priest said there has been a sharp rise in the number of people being targeted and oppressed by “evil spirits”.
Calling for more trained exorcists within the Catholic Church, Fr Collins said: “It is a source of scandal that more is not being done in the Church to protect against this.”
In June, Fr Collins told the Irish Catholic there was a “growing need for deliverance” as people moved away from the Church.
He said he believed Covid was a “dress rehearsal” for the “great tribulation”.
The Towards Halloween event at St Teresa’s Church in Clarendon Street in Dublin city will take place from 11am to 5pm on Saturday, October 8.
