"Spiritual Writing"

Travels from: Columbus, Ohio

Looking for a dynamic Catholic speaker for your conference, meeting, retreat, parish or school function…one who is an enthusiastic convert and a faithful follower of the Catholic Church?

Looking for someone who can engage teachers, parents, and home-schoolers with creative ideas on how to impart the Catholic faith to their students and children?

Looking for a special guest who can ignite a passion in young Catholics, from early elementary school grades to high school and college?

Looking for a presenter whose most important credentials are not based in academia, but in a long, happy marriage and close-knit family, where a vibrant Catholic faith is the foundation?

Then look no further.

Elizabeth Ficocelli is a best-selling, award-winning Catholic author of nine inspiring books for adults and children.
