Executive Director

In April, I received a call from Bishop Andrew Cozzens, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Bishop Cozzens is also the chairman of the USCCB Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis.

Throughout my eight years with Legatus as both central regional director and executive director, I have had the pleasure of witnessing several individuals who have taken the Legatus mission to heart in an exceptional manner and have gone above and beyond in their help and service to the organization in some truly remarkable ways.

We hoped that when we rang in the New Year, we would truly have a better year than the last. However, as I write this column two weeks into January, it has become apparent that this year may rival 2020 in many ways.

The infamous year of 2020 is finally coming to a close. While it certainly contained some incredible challenges, the silver lining is that it also provided many opportunities for growth, including within Legatus.

There is no question that we are living in a time of great moral confusion. In particular, the value of human life is no longer self-evident, as it was to our founding fathers, but rather is under constant debate and attack.

And as physical gatherings have become so rare over the last several months, I believe our upcoming Summit is more important and offers more value than ever.
