International Catholic Speaker and Evangelist
“
Héctor Antonio Molina, Jr. is a dynamic and much sought after, bilingual lay Catholic speaker and evangelist with nearly 20 years of experience in professional pastoral ministry and leadership in the Church.
From the age of 15, Hector has devoted himself to responding to John Paul II’s call for a “New Evangelization”. It was during his early years as a Youth Minister, that Hector discerned his call to lay ecclesial ministry. He served for eleven years as Pastoral Associate at the historic St. John the Baptist Parish in his home Diocese of Brooklyn before relocating to the Archdiocese of St. Louis where he served for six years under the episcopal leadership of Archbishop Emeritus Raymond Leo Burke, both as Director of Hispanic Ministry and later as founding Director of The Office of the New Evangelization.
Over his lengthy ministerial career, Héctor has preached to tens of thousands at Parish Missions, Retreats & Conferences throughout the United States, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. With his great wealth of knowledge and pastoral experience, Héctor has developed a solid reputation as being one of the most passionate and articulate expositors and defenders of the Catholic faith.
He is currently launching his own full-time evangelization apostolate which he hopes will contribute to the "new springtime" spoken of by the late John Paul the Great. Hector's fervent desire is to reach others for Christ, who, as the great apostle Paul put it, “desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:4).
Héctor is a devoted husband and father of three. The Molina’s are parishioners of the historic Cathedral-Basilica of Saint Louis.
I know Hector as a man of faith who is deeply committed to Christ and proclaiming his message. I have heard him speak on a number of occasions and believe the Holy Spirit changes hearts through him.”
