KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Our keynote speaker is Héctor Antonio
Molina, Jr. He is a dynamic bilingual lay Catholic speaker and
evangelist with over 20 years of experience in professional pastoral
ministry and leadership in the Church. From the age of 15, Héctor
has devoted himself to responding to Venerable John Paul II’s call
for a “New Evangelization”. It was during his early years as a Youth
Minister that Héctor discerned his call to lay ecclesial ministry.
He pursued his theological studies at St. John's University while
serving as Pastoral Associate at the historic St. John the Baptist
Parish in his home Diocese of Brooklyn. He served in this capacity
for over a decade before relocating to the Archdiocese of St. Louis
where he served for six years under the episcopal leadership of then
Archbishop Raymond Leo Burke, both as Director of Hispanic Ministry
and later as founding Director of The Office for the New
Evangelization.
Over his lengthy ministerial career Héctor has preached to tens of
thousands at Parish Missions, Retreats & Conferences throughout the
United States, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. In 2009, he
launched his own full-time evangelization apostolate through which
he continues to faithfully communicate the timeless truths of the
Gospel and of our rich Catholic faith in a compelling way that stirs
the hearts and minds of his listeners and awakens faith. Héctor's
fervent desire is to reach others for Christ, who, as the great
apostle Paul put it, “desires all men to be saved and to come to the
knowledge of the truth” (1 Ti mothy 2:4). Héctor is a devoted
husband and father of four. The Molina’s are parishioners of the
historic Cathedral-Basilica of Saint Louis.
