Ken Geraci.  Our dynamic speakers will capture your attention by speaking from the context of their own conversions from Protestantism, the pitfalls they found in classic Reformation theology and Modern Evangelicalism.  They will share how through ongoing study and reason they were led to the conclusion that Catholicism best addresses the needs of modern Christians.  All attendees will be led toward the conclusion that the Catholic Church is the ultimate vision of Christ’s prayer for unity. Friday night begins with a full concert with Matt Maher and John Tibbs! Group rates begin with groups of 10+.  Call for details.
