Segment 4 – The first-ever “Consecrate America” campaign
“The world has many problems. The Church has many problems. America has many problems. Many people believe that they are powerless to make a difference. But here’s the truth: you do have the power to create change. You have the power to help consecrate America to the Eucharist. By signing this petition, you’re asking the Bishops of the United States to consecrate our country to the single greatest source of grace in the world—Jesus in the Eucharist.”

Brian Walsh is the Campaign Coordinator for Consecrate America and the Marketing Strategy Advisor at Dynamic Catholic, where he has served for five years. Brian has a degree in Theology from Spring Hill College and has dedicated his passion and talents to several ministry and church roles over the past twenty-five years, ranging from youth ministry to serving on his parish finance committee.
