What Parish Leaders are Saying

“Joe, it was an honor to work with you last month at the staff and educators retreat at Sts. Anne and Joachim! They have been raving about what a positive day it was!”

“Joe Roueche did a fabulous job leading multiple retreats for our staff and youth at St. Therese parish in Deephaven.

Always upbeat, deeply faithful, and extraordinarily creative, Joe knows how to keep people engaged and reflect more deeply on how our Catholic faith can be lived with joy today.

I highly recommend Joe to help energize your good people with a great retreat!”

“I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Joe Roueche as a Catholic speaker, especially for young people and parents involved in faith formation, and in the training of catechists for the Church.

I worked closely with Joe at NET Ministries, where he was successful in setting thousands of young hearts on fire with love of God through the “Lifeline” program and through “The Gathering” training sessions for youth ministry leaders.

Joe is a gifted teacher and communicator who reaches hearts and minds with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the fullness of the Catholic faith.   His joyful authenticity has resonated with many throughout the Archdiocese of St Paul and Minneapolis and beyond.  I am blessed to know Joe, and happy to recommend him to you as a Catholic speaker.”

Sincerely yours in Christ,

The Most Reverend Andrew H. Cozzens, STD, DD
Bishop of Crookson, MN

With all these opportunities, Joe has touched hearts and minds because of his passion and knowledge of the faith.”
