From my childhood, I was Southern Baptist, where I was very involved starting in my teenage years. I was involved in youth group activities, bible studies, and even played guitar in the youth group band. I was never really anti-Catholic, but I knew why we were Protestant.

Fr. Marc-André

I joined the Jesuits after undergrad in 2015. Through missionary activity, community life, and intense studies, the Jesuits have taught me how to grow in the joy and love of the Gospel. I am very much looking forward to ministering at a Parish and a Jesuit High School in Winnipeg this Fall.

My name is Fr. Sebastian, and I was ordained a priest with the Companions of the Cross this past May 24th. Although I grew up Catholic I had a deeper conversion to my faith through Catholic Christian Outreach.

So say “yes” to God. Even if your voice trembles. Even if all you can offer is your broken heart. That’s more than enough.

Michael Sloan

“Michael, you are my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.” Hearing those words and being struck with this love, a love that I had been craving and looking for my whole life, I could not help but decide on a relationship with God, inviting Him to be the center of my life.

“Yes Catholic is a powerful instrument of evangelization. It brings together Catholics from different backgrounds with unique stories, all rooted in God's love for us, and the YES we give in response when God calls us. I know that Yes Catholic will continue to inspire other Catholics to own their faith and say YES through the power of testimony and witness.”

“In a society that often feels void of the truth and joy found in Christ, Yes Catholic offers inspiring, captivating stories of those who’ve found this treasure that is our Catholic Faith. I’ve been so blessed by those who have shared their journeys, their struggles and ultimately, their encounter with the intimate love and mercy of Christ, leading to their zealous YES! Yes Catholic is truly a gift.”
