What Are People Saying?…
“In response to the world’s growing indifference to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Church has clearly articulated the need for a New Evangelization; one that is new in its ardor, methods and expression. As a guest speaker, Tom has taken this mandate to heart and run with it. He brings with him a genuine love of the Church, an ardent zeal for souls and a fresh, unassuming approach to the transmission of the Faith. His trademark pinstripe suit, handkerchief and cufflinks are, for me, an outward sign of his inward disposition: organized, focused and always ready to respond. I hope to continue having him back each year.”
– Michael Garibaldi., Director of Evangelization and Catechesis - St. Joan of Arc Roman Catholic Church, Phoenix, Arizona

“Tom’s talk really set the stage for our small group sessions and gave the emphasis on the importance of Confirmation that we were hoping to get across to the teens. One thing I noticed, as a contrast from previous years, was that Tom held the attention of the teens. There were four teens in our class who commented that they were there because of their parents insistence, but they are open to God’s spirit. They all agreed that his was an interesting and informative talk.”
– Linda B., St. Thomas More Catholic Church, Austin, Texas
