Guest Speaking

I am ever on the road (guitar in hand) speaking and giving retreats to youth groups, Catholic Schools, young adult groups, parents, and youth ministry teams. I love my job - but I have to admit that this is my favorite part! Due to the number of requests from both inside the Archdiocese and nationwide you will have the most luck booking me for your event if you contact me as far in advance as you are able and give me a few options to choose from.

Testimonials

I've listed some testimonials below from people who have seen me speak. This isn't done in the spirit of bragging...but before you put someone in front of a room full of teens it's best to be sure that they know what they're doing - these testimonials are to assure you of that.

"Christopher Stefanick, a devoted husband and father with excellent academic preparation and experience for the apostolate on behalf of youth, is most effective in communicating the Catholic faith to young people, and in preparing others to do the same. Having worked closely with him, I wholeheartedly endorse and recommend him."
Archbishop Raymond L. Burke, Archdiocese of Saint Louis

"Having known Chris for almost ten years, I can say that he is one of the best youth speakers I've heard. His love for our Lord, our Lady, and our teens is clear, and his ability to impact his audience is truly a gift."
Jason Evert, Apologist and Teen Chastity Speaker, Catholic Answers - El Cajon, CA

"After the retreat all of the teens kept talking about how much you touched them with your message and asking when we could have you back!"
Michelle Maher, Director of Total Catholic Education & Superintendent of Catholic Schools, Diocese of Colorado Springs

"Chris is a fresh, passionate and talented musician and youth minister. I am impressed with the ease with which he gets a crowd going! He has a naturally engaging personality. Chris is equally comfortable and effective in front of a small group in a church classroom or a large gathering in a hall or ballroom. Most importantly, he knows how to share with young people his love of Jesus and God's power to transform out lives. I recommend him highly, knowing that lives will be changed."
Steve Angrisano, Songwriter, Inspirational Speaker

"Chris is a natural born ambassador of Christ. He has the ability to communicate the Gospel with energy, enthusiasm, and charity. He is able to marshal and energize groups of people with his gifts of music and drama. He is the new breed of young Catholic, 'Dynamically Orthodox.'"
Jess Romero, Catholic Lay Evangelist and former Los Angeles Deputy Sheriff
