Speaking to young people about self-worth, purpose, and human sexuality are not always easy topics to navigate. We are here to help. We're here to serve the needs of the tweens, teens, youth ministers and campus ministers.

QUOTES:

We always love finding the gems in our backyard, and finding Klarissa was a blessing. We treasured our time with her! Her talk was fun and engaging, excellent for all ages!
​- Deborah Garcia, youth minister
 Andrew and Klarissa were the keynote speakers for the men’s and women’s talks at the University Catholic Conference of California (UCCC). They each separately addressed both the men and the women to create a cohesive 'Theology of the Body for Men & Women’ talk. Together, they provided a great introduction to TOB with insights from a man and woman’s perspective and presented in a way that that was engaging, relevant, relatable, and funny talk. They went beyond just speaking about the teachings of Theology of the Body by infusing their talks with personal stories and experiences and providing practical tips through the “Top 5 things engaged couples need”. ​It was such a blessing to have Andrew and Klarissa speak at UCCC 2018 at UC Berkeley"
