THE EUCHARIST and LOVE FOR THE MASS - The Eucharist truly is the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ, which is the heart and soul of the Catholic faith. Through the Catholic Mass, Jesus Christ feeds His followers through His Word and with His living Body. In this talk, Sean inspires a deeper faith in the true presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and also motivates his listeners to fully participate in every Mass they attend to experience the life-giving joy of the Holy Spirit!

Although the Eucharist is the focus of Sean's ministry, he also talks on many other topics. The following list depicts a few of the most common topics he speaks on other than the Eucharist. If you would like to schedule an event or request a different topic, send us an email through our "Contact Us" page.
EVANGELIZATION - As baptized followers of Christ, we are called to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ throughout our lives. Sadly, many people feel poorly equipped to fulfill this baptismal calling to evangelize. In order to strengthen the Body of Christ, and assist people in improving their ability to share their faith with others, Sean gives his listeners motivating instruction to prepare and empower them to courageously spread the Gospel that our world desperately needs to hear.
SACRAMENTS - Humanity's relationship with God was broken through the original sin of Adam and Eve. Jesus Christ came to the earth to save man from sin so that we could one day be with Him in heaven. Jesus shares the sanctifying grace He won for us on the cross through the Sacraments. Sean teaches his listeners how to make proper use of the Sacraments for personal and communal growth in holiness. The more people understand the Sacraments and learn how to properly utilize them to receive God's grace the more it will facilitate their growth in holiness and inspire non-Catholics to join the Catholic Church.
PRAYER AND SPIRITUALITY - Many people feel as though they hit a roadblock when it comes time to pray. They are either not sure how to get started in prayer, or they are not sure how to take the next step in their spiritual journey. If you have read any of Sean's books, you already know that he has an amazing, vibrant spirituality that inspires others to follow in his footsteps. Through this talk, Sean shares how he has developed his deep spiritually and ability to pray and discern the workings of the Holy Spirit. Through his example, people at all stages of their faith journey find helpful ideas that they can tangibly apply in their everyday situations.
SELF-KNOWLEDGE AND SELF-AWARENESS - One of the main inhibiting factors in most people's development, both spiritually and naturally, is their insufficient level of self-knowledge and self-awareness. In fact, many people don't even realize they are lacking in this area. Sean was once one of these people and is now able to lead others out of this darkness into the light. In fact, Sean felt that this topic was so important to the development of people in our modern culture that he wrote an entire book on this subject.
INFLUENCE AND CHOICES - TV, music, media, friends, and family have an impact and influence on our lives and our decisions. Sean reveals ways that these influences can be either positive or negative and the impact they have on our decision making process. Once individuals see the truth more clearly, they have the opportunity to make wise choices for their life.
DISCERNING GOD'S WILL - It took four years of INTENSE prayer and suffering before Sean finally learned how God was speaking to him. If he only had a few key concepts in mind before he started his vocational discernment, he would have avoided many years of suffering and wandering aimlessly in the wrong direction. Sean seeks to help others find God's will for their life and avoid many of the unnecessary sufferings he went through in his discernment! This talk not only applies to one's vocational discernment, but discernment in smaller, everyday decisions.
USING YOUR GIFTS FOR GOD - Utilizing all of the gifts and talents God has given you in order to help others and serve Him is not always easy to do. In addition, it is not always easy to figure out what or how to apply these gifts most effectively. Through this talk, Sean helps every listener figure out how they can open up their heart to finding the place God has marked out for them. As a result, the entire body of Christ can be strengthened.
CHASTITY / SEXUALITY - Every single person is called to live appropriate chastity according to his or her state in life. One of the greatest challenges for every human being is to incorporate their own personal sexuality into their life in a healthy, holy, and chaste way. Sean's talk on chastity goes much deeper then intellectual knowledge. He presents this topic to people (both young and old) in a way that tremendously inspires them to live a life of holy love, which is the fruit of authentic chastity.
DATING RELATIONSHIPS - Our society is plagued with sin and divorce. Our culture is not training people (both young and old) for a life of commitment and dedication. We've lost sight of the purpose of a dating relationship and how it fits into the context of marriage. With this talk, Sean seeks to help single and engaged people learn how to choose the right spouse and prepare for a fulfilling life in a lasting marriage.
MARRIAGE - The vocation of marriage is a calling to love. This includes laying down your life for your spouse, but what exactly does that mean? Very often, people have the wrong perception of how to give of themselves in marriage, which in turn inhibits the growth of the relationship. Sean provides solid ideas for married couples to help them deepen their love for each other through deep personal self-giving in communication. This in turn strengthens their marriage bond.
PARENTING AND MENTORING - Fostering the correct parenting and mentoring skills are vital for facilitating positive growth in young people. Through utilizing the concepts Sean provides, parents will know how to teach their children respect, how to take responsibility, to grow in love for others, and to develop with good decision making skills. These characteristics are radically lacking in our younger generations because parents do not know how to instill these virtues, which is exactly why many parents will dramatically benefit from this talk!
TAKING RESPONSIBILITY - This talk is geared toward junior and senior high students but also has its application for young adults and adults. While Sean was a high school religion teacher, he found that his students often blamed other people for things that came as the direct result of their own choices. This behavior motivated Sean to begin teaching them how to take responsibility for their actions and accept the consequences. This in turn helped them mature and make better life decisions. As previously stated, many parents in our modern society have not learned how to instill this concept into their children, which is why this is a very important talk that will benefit many people.
DECISIONS CONCERNING DRUGS AND ALCOHOL - This talk is designed for high school aged students. Much of the talk is based on the motivating story of how Sean almost lost his life at the age of seventeen at the hands of a drunk driver. He's also seen the negative effect of drugs as they destroyed the lives of people he's personally known. Sean's message is clear and he helps young people realize that we all have choices to make concerning drugs and alcohol. Sean helps them realize that many people make decisions based solely on emotion which can lead to disaster. Sean provides young people with solid ideas on how to think things through and make good choices.
JUDGE NOT - Many people hear the Scripture passage "Judge not and you will not be judged." The spiritual implications of this passage evades most people, and the meaning goes much deeper than is often recognized by the average Christian. Through this talk, Sean reveals some positive insight into this passage that significantly helps people grow spiritually and mature in every aspect of their lives. This in turn enables them to be a more powerful witness of their freedom as a child of God.
THE SIN OF ADAM - Original sin happened through the choices of Adam and Eve. Many of us sin in a similar way without even realizing it. This reality can actually be quite difficult to face, which is why many people subconsciously ignore it. It will take an audience who deeply desires to grow in holiness to want to hear this talk.
Although a major component of Sean's ministry is focused on adults in the Catholic Church, he has also successfully completed all VIRTUS "Protecting God's Children" training and has clear criminal and child abuse background checks, which are important prerequisites to have when working with the youth in the Catholic Church.
