The Brainerd Speaker Series was developed by Brainerd Catholic consisting of All Saints, St. Francis of Assisi, Saint Andrew's, and Saint Mathias Catholic Churches. The Speaker Series mission is to bring healing, hope, and joy in Jesus to the Brainerd Lakes Area and surrounding communities through talented, high profile faith-based speakers and presentations.

We continue to seek a range of inspirational topics and relevant content for the people in our area in hopes of growing in their relationship with Christ. Fully embracing the term Catholic in its definition of “universal,” the Speaker Series strives to bring a message meant for all, not an exclusive, “members-only” society. All of our speakers represent this message through their own unique stories and testimonies, guiding one another back to communion with each other.

With the series only a few years old, we have already hosted comedian Paul J. Kim, musician Matt Maher, presenter Nora Creech from the Othonia National Shroud of Turin Exhibit, and Christion Advocate and Ethiopian Missionary Kim Zember. Our latest installment welcomes former Hollywood actor-turned social media evanaglist, Tanner Kalina to the stage in Fall 2026.

in addition to the Speaker Series, we support a large number of area groups, ministries, and organizations to help grow your faith and devotion. You're invited to visit our website and explore the multitude of ways that you can be involved, or have your questions answered and find peace in the Lord.

We look forward to connecting with you soon and joining us on the joyful journey to Heaven!
