Michael Walsh
Catholic Motivational Speaker & Evangelist
Catholic Motivational Speaker & Evangelist
Michael has been evangelizing and educating youth
in the Salesian Youth Movement for the past five
years at youth rallies, mission trips and Boys and Girls
Clubs. I highly recommend him. Michael is so good as
a youth minister that he has trained other youth
ministers in St. John Bosco’s style, spirit and
method. He has the gifts of friendliness, comedy,
and down to earth simplicity and the ability to share
faith and values. Most importantly, Michael is 100%
Catholic and his preaching is totally doctrinally sound.
The way he presents the faith is also very attractive
to the young. This combination makes him an
excellent evangelist. Michael is sound-morally and is
spiritually grounded. He is joyful, giving, and very
much in love with Jesus and the Church.

Having taught religion at the high school level as a
newly ordained priest, I know first hand how difficult
it can be to present the faith to teenagers that is
engaging, serious, catechetical and fun all at the
same time. I have now seen Michael present to
several different groups on different topics and his
presentations manage to accomplish all that and
much more. Speaking to the teens afterwards, they
are excited for the faith and have that deep desire
to live it out in all the wonder that is included in
Catholicism. Michael is a serious Catholic, whose
love for Christ shines through all that he does. His
witness is so strong that he is one of the first
speakers that I contact whenever we are doing a
program for teens.

I would like to commend Michael Walsh as an
excellent youth speaker and conference emcee! For
the past two years he has done an amazing job as
the master of ceremonies for the archdiocesan
CREDO youth conference (www.credoibelieve.org)
and we plan on having him do it again next year!
Michael is fantastic with the high school youth. He
has a great rapport with them and the teens are
caught up in his enthusiasm! He nicely transitions
the event sessions and deftly adapts to unforeseen
situations. His own ideas have enhanced this annual
retreat immensely. He is able to speak in front of
the Blessed Sacrament with reverence and still
maintain high energy and keep the audience’s
attention. The feedback from the teens’ evaluations
is overwhelmingly positive. Michael has helped shape
the success of the CREDO retreat!
Michael is highly adaptable and can certainly help you
in any youth event. Please contact me if you have
any questions.

"Michael Walsh is more than a speaker, he’s an
inspiration. He communicates the light of Christ not
only with his words, but with his creative and
energetic presence. His hip sense of style attracts
people’s attention. His natural gift for storytelling
intrigues his listeners. His faith inspires those who
encounter him to change their lives for the better.
Michael's ministry is an invaluable gift to youth who
so desperately need positive young role models to
learn from and look up to in today's world."

“My experience of Michael Walsh suggests that he is
a very faith-filled young man, with great energy and
enthusiasm in his work to share his love for God and
the Church with young people. In my experience, I
have always seen very positive reactions from the
young people with whom he has interacted in his
presentations. He has also shared his faith with me
on many occasions, leaving me to confidently say
that I have complete trust in his ability to speak fully
in accordance with Church teaching, albeit with a
kindness and pastoral sensitivity that is appropriate
for young people.”
