A recent surge in Catholic social media figures has led to an increase in fame for Father Mike Schmitz, who is internationally recognized for his “Bible in a Year” and “Catechism in a Year” podcasts, provided through Catholic publisher Ascension. This notoriety, especially among young Catholics, has led the college campus ministry chaplain from the Diocese of Duluth, Minnesota to serve as the keynote speaker for the National Eucharistic Congress’ July 18 revival session in Indianapolis.
At a press gaggle with reporters a few hours before his talk in Indianapolis, Father Schmitz offered his wisdom on a number of topics; in particular, he spoke about evangelization and the importance of the Eucharist. From that conversation, Fr. Schmitz enumerated five tips curated from his experience to help Catholics become better evangelizers through a welcoming and earnest approach to promoting the faith, which can be found in complete detail here at the OSV News website.
