Mike Patin

Mr. Patin is to speak from 6:30-8:30 p.m. each evening at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 111 Elliott Rd., in Defiance, using energy, humor and stories to encourage participants to “Believe it! Pray it! Share it!”

The theme combines this year’s Generations of Faith topics of Creed and prayer with the diocese’s focus on evangelization.

Mr. Patin has spoken to more than 700 groups in more than 70 dioceses, addressing youth, adult and intergenerational audiences.  Since 1984 he has worked with teens and adults in a variety of settings, and since 2003 he has worked full-time as speaker and consultant.  To find out more about his ministry, visit www.mikepatin.com.
