OSV Talks

Let’s be real: Catholic young adult ministry is not in a great place. The majority of Catholic young adult groups and ministers follow a three-year cycle before fizzling out. We’re seeing a mass exodus of young people from the Church—all of whom desperately want a community to belong to. What we need is not more or better content. We need spirit-filled disciples living in communion to accomplish the mission of the Church. In his OSV Talk, ministry expert Pete Burak shares his hard-won wisdom on how we can begin to end the young adult ministry death cycle.

As a Franciscan in the Bronx, Fr. Agustino Torres knows how desperately we need to live like St. Francis right now. We need to work where we are and engage our neighbors with love and zeal. We need the poverty of Francis to reveal our own impoverished spirits.

Torres powerfully implores us to renew this cold world by burning with the love of God.

Perfectionism is perilous. It holds us in place with shame, blame, and judgment. It keeps us from personal holiness and weakens the impact of our ministry. And, sadly, it’s rampant in the Church. As Catholics, we are called instead to healthy striving, to allow grace and forgiveness into the messiness of our mission. In his emotional and entertaining OSV Talk, Doug Tooke from ODB Films discusses the pitfalls of perfectionism and how we can learn to be “a candid polaroid in a photoshop world.”

Did you know that 42% of U.S. Catholics are Latino? If you only count those aged 18 and younger, it's 63%. So how is it that our Catholic communities have become so segregated? In this eye-opening talk, Dcn. Charlie Echeverry calls attention to the “powderkeg” that is the Latino Catholic community in the U.S. If the Church is to live, we must listen to the voice of God together—rather than letting a difference of language separate us.

Motivational speaker Paul Kapsalis talks about his life of perseverance and how his understanding of that word has changed over time. Though he found great success through his persistence, it was built on a false sense of self-sufficiency. Over time, Paul has come to realize that perseverance is meaningless if it is not paired with peaceful surrender and reliance on God.

What if God is calling us to be much greater than the “old normal”? In this stirring talk, Cellucci reminds us that Christianity is not about meeting a bare minimum.
