Speakers

Are you looking for an inspirational speaker who can dynamically deliver the freeing message of chastity? Oftentimes it’s through talks and conversations with chastity speakers that the seed of conversion is planted, and a young person becomes open to the notion.

Since 2002, the CEI has been pleased to sponsor and host nationally recognized chastity speakers at dozens of high schools, middle schools and parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Chicago and beyond. The speakers’ sense of humor and hard facts appeal to teens and adults alike.

Don't hesitate to contact us to schedule a presentation from a National Speaker at your parish or school, we are taking reservations for future dates.

Raymund Pingoy

Raymund Pingoy, Senior Coordinator of Human Dignity and Solidarity, is an excellent speaker on various youth issues. As a former missionary worker for an International Catholic Family Ministry, Raymund has traveled all over the world and knows how to reach teens with the messages of chastity and respect life in a way that is relevant and meaningful. Raymund is available for any audience size. Other topics he speaks on include puberty, parent talks on how to teach children about chastity, the great vocation of fatherhood, etc., and Theology of the Body talks for any audience.

For smaller audiences, the Respect Life Office offers a variety of chastity speakers. We also provide puberty talks to all boy/all girl 5-6 grade audiences. Please let us know your specific needs, such as any language requirements.

We are in the process of building a speakers group to help spread the message of chastity in the Archdiocese of Chicago. If you are interested in joining the speakers group, please contact our office.

To schedule a chastity presentation, please contact Blanca Rodriguez at the Respect Life Office by filling out our Speakers Request Form or emailing [email protected].

Are you longing for authentic relationships? Do you truly know who you are? Are you ready for more? Our current Young Adult Generation is looking for the Church to provide real, tangible, meaningful opportunities for growth. Surely, this generation is wanting their faith to intersect the realities of life and desire to address real life issues.

New Horizon meets a need. For decades, the degradation and pulverization of the human person have left generations lost and in desperate need of direction and clarity. Men and women not only lack understanding of who they are, but also whose they are. Through our New Horizon Leadership Formation program, Echo Community wants to partner with dioceses and parishes to form young adults as the mature Christian disciples and leaders that they desire to be and help remind them of who they are while inviting them into a life fully alive and truly free.

Join in on a journey with other young adults desiring the very same thing: to find authentic friendships centered on Christ and to grow in their faith. New Horizon: Leadership Formation is an integrated 2 year formation program:

• Year one includes weekly formation sessions centered on our four key pillars of formation (outlined above). Young adults who commit to the program will be responsible for attending 40 sessions over the year where they will receive time for prayer, formation, and community. This is not an “at your own pace” formation experience; young adults will be invited into community and journey together in person.
• Year two of the program is no longer centered around formation but evangelization. Young Adults who have completed the first year of the formation program will enter into their second year as Mature Christian Disciples and be sent back into their parishes and communities to evangelize the men and women in their community.

This formation program will greatly help young adults grow in specific areas to become mature Christian disciples. The men and women interested in the program do not need specific skills or qualities to enter into the program – a young adult simply needs to be willing to dedicate the time and have docility to the Holy Spirit.
