Héctor Antonio Molina, Jr. is a dynamic and much sought after bilingual lay Catholic speaker and Evangelist, who, for nearly 25 years has ministered the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Catholic faith throughout the United States, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. 

From the age of 15, Hector has devoted his life to responding to Pope John Paul II’s call for a “New Evangelization”.  For eleven years he served as Pastoral Associate at the historic St. John the Baptist Parish in his home Diocese of Brooklyn. In 2003, he was appointed by (then) Archbishop Justin Rigali to serve as Director of Hispanic Ministry for the Archdiocese of Saint Louis.  In June of 2007, the Most Reverend Archbishop Raymond Leo Burke, appointed him to serve as founding Director of the recently established Archdiocesan Office of the New Evangelization.

Over his lengthy ministerial career, Hector has preached to tens of thousands at Parish Missions, Retreats & Revivals as well as at Diocesan, Regional and National Conferences & Events.  He has appeared as a guest on Catholic Answers Live, Kresta in the Afternoon and a host of Catholic radio stations throughout the country.  He is currently serving as a consultant for the (soon to be launched) Envoy Institute at Belmont-Abbey College and is a member of the John Paul II Society of Evangelists.

With his great wealth of knowledge and pastoral experience, Hector has developed a solid reputation as being one of the most passionate and articulate expositors and defenders of the Catholic faith.  His soul-stirring preaching and witness continues to inspire and touch the lives of countless souls who are searching for meaning and purpose in their lives.  His fervent desire is to reach others for Christ, who, as the great apostle Paul put it, “desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:4).

Hector is a devoted husband and father of two.  The Molina’s are parishioners of the historic Cathedral-Basilica of Saint Louis.
