Get to know the 2016 Catholic Men's Conference Speakers! 

We are humbled to introduce, Brother Angelus, CFR!

Question 1: Brother, often times, God's graces flow from cool ministry work, such as working with youth. What is the greatest grace you have received through your youth ministry work in the Bronx, NY? 

Br. A: Walking with young people is a real gift. We don't necessarily have to have all the answers or have the perfect advice, we just need to "be there." Honestly, this takes a lot of pressure off.  As a future Priest, we will be called "father" (what is crazy!) But our call to be a brother and father to young people in their journey of life bears fruit and it is an incredible feeling. It is humbling that people invite us into their lives and are available and open enough to be vulnerable and trust what God is doing in the Christian life. 

Question 2: As a 'press secretary' for the Lord, what are your favorite and most challenging moments? 

Br A: I love talking and communicating. (I know...really!) The spoken word can have significant influence on people in one on one moments, big groups, or even on radio or TV. The Church is the world's biggest "social network" and it truly has the greatest news to share. You are loved, and willed by God, and he has called you to live a happy life with him! This is the good news that we are called to share and what I love "talking" about. One of the great challenges of being the one to speak is to know when to listen. It is a gift I desire, to truly walk with people in their lives and be a listening presence. 

Question 3: What is your favorite food to prepare and serve your brother Franciscans? 

Br A: STEAK! Being from Nebraska I love to grill steaks for the guys. Whenever we get it donated (we live off donated food!) I tell the guys -"If you don't know how to cook it, leave it to someone who does!" Steak, potatoes, grilled veggies, garlic bread - oh yeah! I owe the credit to my family. My mom taught us how to cook growing up. Now we like to cook for her, and she gets nervous! BWT: The next show we want to do is a cooking show with the Friars...oh my! 

Question 4: As a self-proclaimed political junkie, what will be the most important campaign issue in the 2016 presidential election? 

Br. A: Oh man - this could get me into trouble! The most important thing is to let our Christian faith form who we are. Voting or advocating for an issue or movement must come from our deep convictions about life, humanity, and the true  common good. These are gospel principles, ones that we do not leave at home when we enter the public square. I am a Christian/Catholic formed by my relationship with Christ and life in the Church, then sent out to make a difference in the world. 

The supreme court is obviously a significant issues that is at stake in this election, and the foundational issues of the dignity of human life, which involve the hot topics of abortion, economic justice, and immigration. All these issues have a Christian response! Our hope is that we have passionate men and women that we can vote for that allow us to be confident in bringing the best response to our nation and world's problems. 

Question 5: For people trying to decided if they can/want/need to attend the 2016 Catholic Men's Conference in Jacksonville, FL on August 6th, what is the most compelling reason to come?

Br. A: Jesus only makes sense in this very moment. He is alive now, in the very heart of our lives and is asking us to recognize him and follow him in a deeper way. There are always excuses and other things to do. Through the presence of these men in August, God is going to be present in a powerful way and in a new way. Whether you live in the local diocese or are located around the world, you are invited to experience all that God wants to do in your heart and in your life!
