SPEAKER TOPICS

FAITH:  The Good Life

Jennifer Fulwiler

Jennifer Fulwiler shares the powerful story of how she was a staunch atheist who lived "the good life" according to the world's wisdom. Then she converted to Catholicism, along with her husband and children, and everything changed. God took away every one of the things she thought she needed to be happy, and showed her what a good life really looks like. Jennifer's humorous stories will be an inspiration to anyone who was ever tempted to step away from God in search of fulfillment, and will offer a great reminder that deep, lasting happiness can only be found in Christ.
 

LOVE:  ‘Severe Mercy’ Observed

Roland Millare

Sometimes God answers our prayer “concealed in the storm cloud” (Psalm 81).  Roland will reflect upon his own encounter with Jesus Christ in the journey of life.  He will focus on the virtues of mercy and charity and the role of friendship that has sustained him during an excruciating part of his pilgrimage towards “all things new.”

 

HOPE:  Christ, Our Hope of Glory

Brother Peter Francis

"Hope does not disappoint" (Romans 5:5).  These are profound words from St. Paul calling us to place our trust in God more than we have before.  The crazy thing is we "hope" a lot of things:  I hope the homily is short… I hope I win the lottery… I hope there is no line at Chick-fil-A.  So how does hope not disappoint when these things don't happen?  It all matters on where our trust lies.  Come and hear the testimony of how God gives hope only when we place our hope in Him (Psalm 37:5).
