What Others Have Said...

"Todd brings knowledge, energy and creativity to his message delivery of the Good News. He knows teens and is very gifted at making the gospel message relevant to their lives, inviting them to become who God created them to be." - Brian Butler, Founder - Dumb Ox Productions

“As great as you were with the teens, the group of adults also thoroughly enjoyed your presentation with them on how to incorporate Theology of the Body into their ministry with young people. As a presenter you were real, which in my opinion is even better than being entertaining. That said, your presentation style is dynamic and entertaining, as well! I wish you the best as you continue to assist others in bringing Christ to today’s teens.” - Kevin Driscoll, Diocese of Gary Office for Youth and Young Adults

"Todd is brilliant and hilarious all at once - a rare combination. His talks grab you, speak to your heart, and leave you with lots to think about. I would highly recommend him for any type of event!" - Heather Flynn, Founder - LIFT

"Todd Lemieux has quickly become one of the most important resources for the evangelizing of our young people. His own excitement and enthusiasm about the Catholic faith is contagious. In a culture filled with negativity, Todd makes you proud to be Catholic, and inspires you to redouble your commitment to being a disciple of Jesus Christ." - Jim Krug, Director - Catholic League, Long Island Chapter

“Todd Lemieux is an inspiring example of a man who offers all his gifts back to our creator in an effort to convert young hearts to Christ. On stage and off, Todd transparently and enthusiastically shares himself with his audience, be it of 1 or 500. He has all it takes to lead young people to Christ - a deep love of God, a solid foundation in theology, a remarkable stage presence, an acute understanding of teen culture, endless energy, and countless stories (many of them hilarious) from his own life as father, son, teacher, junk food connoisseur and movie lover. After spending most of his keynote presentation rolling in laughter at our Local World Youth Day Celebration, many teens spent the evening exploring the book he co-authored with Mark Hart, 100 Things Every Catholic Teen Should Know, by flashlight at their campsites. Now that’s impressive!” ~Andrea (Meyer) Montillo, Office for Youth and Young Adults, Archdiocese of Philadelphia

“Todd Lemieux is truly a remarkable talent. He engages his audience with humor and passion and then captivates them with the truth he speaks about the Catholic faith. He is an intelligent, thoughtful and faith-filled man with a true gift for making faith relevant in the lives of teens. A definite “A-list” speaker!” - Joan Root, Director, Youth and Young Adult Ministry, Diocese of Lexington

“I hope that many teens, young adults and Youth Ministers have the opportunity to minister with Todd Lemieux. Todd brings an extensive toolbox of lived experience, stories and personal witness that makes the Gospel not only relevant, but accessible to the lives of whoever finds themselves in one of his audiences. Whether he is speaking about evangelization, why the Catholic Church teaches what she does or leading worship, Todd connects with his participants and challenges them to go deeper in their relationship with Christ. I highly recommend Todd Lemieux to lead an event at your parish, school or diocese and trust that with his gifts and God’s grace, you will better understand and desire to live John Paul II’s radical call for a New Evangelization.” - Tom Smith, Coordinator, Youth Ministry Apostolate, Diocese of Rockville Centre, Long Island, NY

"Todd Lemieux uses a combination of theology and humor to bring the message of God's love to young adults. He understands what issues are important to young adults and gets his message across to them through prayer, spiritual exercises and just plain fun and games! His enthusiasm is contagious and adults and young people alike with benefit from his presentations. His ability to reach young people is truly a gift." - Carol Tannehill, Director of Religious Education, Maria Regina, Seaford, NY

“Todd Lemieux is great gift to the Church and to youth. His ability to connect with teens--passing on the awesome truths of the Catholic faith--is second to none. He knows what our Catholic teens are facing in the culture and how to reach them in a way that stays true to the Tradition, but relevant to the teen experience. His energy and enthusiasm are infectious, his dry wit is endearing, and his love for Christ and the Church obvious.” - Matthew Pinto, Author “Did Adam and Eve Have Belly Buttons”, President, Ascension Press

"Todd had all of our teens on the edge of their seats for a full day event! He was well prepared, hilariously funny and - most importantly - profoundly inspirational." - Leonard E. Wathen, Jr., Director of Religious Education, St. Aloysius Church, Leonardtown, MD
