"Putting Your Gifts to Work"

Join us on March 7 for our monthly Speaker Series. This month’s speaker will be Nicholas Brandt.

As we approach the beginning of Lent it's natural to start thinking of our resolutions to grow spiritually.  This talk will help you focus on perhaps the most neglected area of Lent: almsgiving.  How can we spend our time and talents better for the Lord?  What ministries can we join to really put ourselves in the mission field?  Nicholas will lead a guided personal reflection to figure out what more (or for the over-involved, what less) we need to be doing for the Lord.

Nicholas Brandt is a proud member of STA Young Adults, a life-long Catholic, and a lover of apostolates.  He and his fiancee Kathryn Gibbs both work in Catholic Schools as Campus Ministers where together they plan a total of 13 retreats a year.  He's been involved in Catholic Schools for 24 consecutive years as either a student or a teacher.  He also loves everything about sports, especially hockey and soccer.  He loves traveling, especially on pilgrimages, and encountering the Lord in holy places.  He founded Genesian Ministries, a unique Catholic theater ministry in the Diocese of Dallas, where he directs and writes plays for the greater glory of God.  His favorite food is steak, and his favorite drink is beer.  He would love to have either with you sometime!
