Looking for your next Catholic Speaker for youth? Tony Ducklow loves having the opportunity to speak to Catholic youth groups in the twin cities and beyond. Tony is a Minneapolis based, high energy storyteller that challenges young people to stay committed to their faith past confirmation. Most certainly, his favorite group of students to reach are the ones who don’t really want to be at church, because reaching this group is so important.
Tony currently works two jobs, the first is the Executive Director of Summer Festival Camp. The second is as the communication director at St. Victoria Catholic Church. He has found that both roles have given him insight on how to share specific Catholic themes in his messages. These themes include the importance of spiritual discipline, our call to live out Catholic social teaching, and also sharing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
He has worked with teenagers at camps, mission trips, and youth groups for over a decade. In other words, Tony has a lot of experience as a Catholic youth speaker. He is energized by sharing personal stories and helping the scriptures come alive. Similarly, he takes great joy in sharing helpful analogies of faith can help students have ah-ha moments.
Parents Matter.
Did you know that largest influencer on a young person’s faith formation is their parents? Tony has several sessions for parents to sharpen their faith-building skills. Therefore, investing and challenging parents in a parish is an important way to ensure that the faith formation is not an hour once a week.
Tony has an extensive list of engaging messages that will help listeners laugh, stay and engaged and think critically about their faith. However, don’t worry if you don’t see a topic that fits your exact needs. Please reach out to Tony and he’d love to come up with a custom message for your group.
When should I bring Tony in to be a Catholic speaker for youth or parents?
He is a great option for your next retreat, camp, or special event. Bring Tony in to spice up your faith formation kick-off, or end of the school year party. He loves speaking at churches in the twin-cities metro area. However, he’s not afraid to travel. Above all, Tony loves sharing his perspective on faith, real-life and where the two intertwine.
