Description

We say thousands of words each day. Many of our words aren’t world changing, they just help make it from morning to night, accomplish our work and family goals, and get us from point A to point B. Most of which we (or anyone else) will ever remember. And that’s probably a good thing.

Speaking to Catholic audiences uses that same format - a string of words put together as strings of sentences - but it’s different. There’s a different intent, a different power, and a different weight.

This was a highlight of my conversation with Kelly Colangelo, on the “privilege of speaking”, the profound trust that another gives when they hand us a microphone. It is something that having done it enough we might start taking for granted. Not Kelly - even after all these years you can hear the great honor it is for her to be entrusted with such a task. It calls me on. I bet it will for you too.

Kelly fell in love with Jesus at age 17 and has dedicated her life to bringing others into a radical relationship with Christ. She has been involved in ministry for more than a decade spreading the Gospel message at retreats, rallies and conferences. She speaks internationally to people of all ages on a variety of topics and has appeared on EWTN's Life on the Rock, and has been a contributor to Life Teen and Chastity Project blogs.

Kelly currently serves as the Director of Youth and College Ministry at a parish in Northwest Florida. She graduated with honors from Niagara University with her B.A. in psychology, communications & theology and from Syracuse University with her M.S. in counseling. Kelly resides in Tallahassee, Florida.
