speaker: Tim Jara

Growing up he thought Catholicism was boring and irrelevant, but that all changed when he was in high school and experienced the personal love of Jesus in Eucharistic Adoration. It became clear to Him that only Jesus can awaken our hearts, restore hope to the hopeless, and satisfy our deepest desires for life, love, meaning, freedom, and adventure! Tim went on to study Theology and Catechetics at Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio and has been serving teens through Catholic youth ministry for over 10 years. Tim lives in Dallas, TX with his wife Katie and their three children. Tim can do a backflip, loves to play ultimate frisbee, and wishes he could climb every mountain. Verso l’Alto!
