Book Giveaway

As part of our beloved tradition of giving away spiritually rich books at each event, we’re excited to announce that this Tuesday each and every one of you will receive a copy of “How to Talk About Jesus with Anyone” courtesy of our sponsor Catholic Answers.

This book is more than another how-to on faith sharing, it’s a call to courageous, joyful witness. In a world where faith is often privatized or a taboo, How to Talk About Jesus With Anyone offers real ways and spiritual encouragement to step into conversations with purpose and hope.

At the event, Jame will share his personal experiences that echo these themes.

As he holds an optional mass for students to attend before his national debate leagues, as well as having staff of his join him for daily mass he speaks of the way he speaks about Jesus with anyone that doesn’t believe.

James shows that even in hyper political in financial worlds one can push for evangelization and God to bring people back to what’s truly meaningful.

This is especially the case for Incubate Debate where many are young and by having the option to attend mass before the conference begins, even if they don’t attend it sticks in their mind and is something that may come back later on in their lives.

We hope you’ll join us this Tuesday as a way to see how you can evangelize to those around you even in sensitive and vocal fields and give back.

We can’t wait to see you there.

Our November speaker is Anthony Viscogliosi, Founder & Principal of Viscogliosi Brothers, a single-family office with 21 companies focused on orthopedics and spine surgery innovation. He is also a parishioner and altar server as well at Old Saint Patrick's Cathedral.

Anthony’s story is one of resilience, faith, and mission as at just 14 years old, he survived a near-fatal accident that left him with severe orthopedic injuries a moment he calls the greatest gift God gave him. That suffering became the seed of his vocation: to dedicate his life to supporting doctors and inventors who relieve the suffering of others.

Anthony will share:

• The turning points that shaped his faith and entrepreneurial vision

• How one can start their own family office to do good

• How God uses suffering as a gift that transforms us

This Dinner will take place in Lower Manhattan*.

​Our December Speaker is Rob Kaczmark, Co-Founder & Executive Director of Spirit Juice Studios, an Emmy Award-winning creative firm dedicated to spreading the Gospel through media.

​Rob’s story is one of faith, creativity, and conviction. From his roots in youth ministry and BMX culture (punk rock, tattoos, ect) to building one of the most recognized Catholic media production company in the country, which has worked with Jonathan Roumie, Hallow, Bishop Baron and Mark Wahlberg.

During COVID, when churches were closed, Rob and his team livestreamed daily Masses from their in-office chapel, offering hope to thousands. His short films like The Veil Removed to launching a Catholic kids’ channel on YouTube continue to shape how Catholics experience and share their faith.

Rob will share:

• ​How his creative journey led to founding Spirit Juice Studios

• ​Why incorporating a chapel into his office and offering mass there changed his company’s culture

• ​How media can be used to plant seeds of faith in unexpected places

This Talk will take place at The Catholic Center at NYU in Lower Manhattan*.
