I’m available to speak at parish or other events.
My work is to preach the Gospel while equipping and empowering parish and ministry leaders with knowledge and inspiration, interwoven with stories of evangelization, parish life, youth ministry, music ministry, and diaconal ministry.
These talks can take the form of single evening presentations, or multi-night missions with additional workshops for parish or other staff.
Let me know what you need, and we can partner to create what can work for you.
Here are examples of topics I’ve presented – some of them multiple times. I could customize any of these topics to most audiences or settings:
A Man’s Guide to Happiness
Initially presented at the Father McGivney Catholic High School Annual Men’s Prayer Breakfast 2025.
The Most Frightening Prayer,
The Most Beautiful Prayer,
The Most Freeing Prayer
A 3-night parish Lenten mission, applying reflections on Jesus’ agony in the garden and the lead-up to his passion to everyday Christian life in the modern age.
Catholic 101 & Q&A
A presentation of a “Top 10” of Catholic beliefs, followed by ample time for open Q&A. I have designed this for those inquiring about the faith, or those wanting to try to return to the faith.
About the Diaconate
An introduction to the theology and practice of the Diaconate in the Catholic Church.
Secrets of the Liturgy
Learn some of the more interesting “secret” or less-known aspects of the Missal and the Mass.
What Makes Catholic Worship Different?
Learn some key differences between the Catholic understanding and practice of liturgy and that of some of our Christian brothers & sisters, often delivered with a special focus on the Church’s desires for music and other elements of worship, as expressed in her liturgical documents. I have presented this multiple times for deacons, deacon candidates, and music directors and ministers.
What does it cost?
I do not charge to speak at Catholic parishes and events. I am ordained to preach the Gospel, and I believe that work should be freely offered.
I do accept a freely-given honorarium to cover my time and expenses, especially when speaking at your event incurs costs related to travel. You may make your decision for the honorarium you wish to give based on audience size, the number of events within the engagement, or the length of time you wish me to speak for. I will be transparent on any travel expenses or the cost of my time.
