Deacon Dan: 5 steps to confident public speaking

6/8/2025

0 Comments

 
Picture
Have you had that dreaded request, “Can you give a short presentation on…?” Where do you begin? What do you need to do to be successful?
​
As a public speaker for over 40 years, here are some of my observations.
Step 1: Say "yes"

Step 2: Develop your plan and your research.
  1. Who is the audience to whom you will be presenting? A classroom of children will need an entirely different presentation than a group of adult learners; a group of technical people will expect different content than a group of managers; a client presentation will be very different than an internal company presentation.
  2. What is the purpose of the presentation? Are you sharing your personal story? Are you teaching people something new? Are you showing your manager a new plan or asking for more resources? Each of these will have a different focus and purpose.
  3. Is there a particular theme or message the audience is being given? If you are part of a larger presentation, is there a particular theme or intent to be shared?
  4. How long of a speech are you being asked to prepare? Is this a short speech, reflection, homily, or a major keynote address?
Step 3: Develop your speech.
  1. Prepare an outline, a plan of what you will say.
  2. Determine your key points. As a rule, you should develop 1-2 key points for presentations under 5 minutes and no more than 3 points for speeches under 8 minutes.
  3. Your presentation will be made of three parts: an opening where you will capture people’s attention, addressing what you are going to say and why it matters to the audience. The body of the speech is where you develop your points and the conclusion is where you recap your speech, deliver your “call to action” — the purpose of the speech.
  4. Select language that supports your purpose and audience.
  5. Wherever possible, use words that help develop an image of what you are saying. People will listen better if they can connect with the presentation.
  6. Be aware of using slang, technical jargon, acronyms, abbreviations, or other “trade” language if it is not common language with the audience. When in doubt, assume it is not appropriate and change.
Step 4: Practise your speech
  1. No great speaker gets up and delivers a speech without having practised it beforehand. You should do it in front of a mirror or record yourself so you can watch and listen to how you did it.
  2. Work to memorize the speech if possible. This will allow you to interact with the audience rather than your notes.
  3. Use vocal variety (change in speed of talking, change in volume or pitch) to add emphasis and engage your audience.
  4. Use pauses to add emphasis. If you have just delivered a key point, people need time to register it and process its meaning.
  5. Work hard to avoid the “umms”, “awws”, “you knows” and other filler words. These very quickly become distractions and turn-offs for your audience. I once heard an eight-minute speech with 37 filler words; I can’t tell you what the speech was about, but that is all I remember.
  6. Ask a trusted mentor to review your presentation and offer coaching and suggestions.
  7. Use this as a time to identify awkward phrases or confusing sentences and rework them to improve delivery ease.
Step 5: Deliver your speech with confidence — you are well prepared and your message will be appreciated.
For more information on public speaking, consider joining a public speaking club like the Heart of the Rockies Toastmaster Club that meets on Monday nights to allow you to work on and develop your speaking and presentation skills.

Dan joined Toastmasters in 2021 and has seen his confidence and presentation quality continue to improve steadily. For more information about Heart of the Rockies Toastmaster Club (initiated at the request of Bishop McGrattan as a renewal initiative) - contact Deacon Dan at [email protected].

SFXC: On mission at Lilac Festival — and beyond

6/8/2025

0 Comments

 
St. Francis Xavier Chaplaincy (SFXC) is a young adult ministry (18-35) in our Diocese that has been active since it began in 2019. One of the key hopes of the Chaplaincy is to go out on mission, just as our namesake, St. Francis Xavier, went out publicly to spread the Gospel.

​This year, our members hit the streets of Calgary during the Lilac Festival to do exactly that — inviting people to our Encounter Accompaniment series, which is running every Thursday in June.

The series is meant to introduce people to the Catholic faith — not only those we met at Lilac Festival, but really anyone looking to learn the basics. We ended up speaking to hundreds of people! We gave out 79 New Testament books, 39 Bibles, over 100 SFXC pamphlets, rosaries, and Ultimate Relationship (UR) booklets. All 50 RCIA pamphlets we brought were snapped up too.

Even if no one had signed up for the Encounter series, we’d still have called this a huge win — planting seeds in people’s hearts and getting them thinking about God and the Catholic faith. However, it was even better: 177 people took our survey and 84 said they’re interested in coming to one of our Encounter events!

Our first Encounter Accompaniment event took place on June 5 at St. Mary’s Cathedral hall, where Fr. Troy introduced the kerygma (the core message of the Catholic faith) to those who attended. About 70 people showed up — and thanks to a generous donor, everyone got free Vietnamese subs too.

It was a small way to show the love of God — not only through the message being shared, but through the warmth of our community.

We’ll be hosting two more sessions on June 12 and 19 at St. Mary’s Cathedral hall. Our final session will be on June 26 at Sacred Heart Calgary, where we’ll have an Adoration night and throw a celebration party to wrap up the series.
​
If you know anyone aged 18-35 who might be interested, please pass this along! My email is at the bottom of this article.
This year, we launched all kinds of small group studies — including Theology of the Body, Healing of the Whole Person workshop, Philosophy Club, CCO Faith Studies, Men’s formation, and book studies on Dante’s Inferno and Fruitful Discipleship.

Our Young Professionals group kicked off a Church History course and a public speaking club called “Logorators.” Our Young Families chapter started a monthly Mass and Formation event and a Mom & Dad’s group.
We’ve also had tons of social events — our annual dance, summer/Stampede BBQ, monthly board game nights, bi-weekly Sunday Socials after Mass, and bi-weekly sports nights.
​
Beyond this, we offer members plenty of ways to volunteer — through our monthly Mustard Seed program, Sunday Socials program, Choir formation, Altar Serving, and other opportunities throughout all of these ministries and events.
Here’s the heart of what we do:
  • Encounter Jesus through the Sacraments, Holy Mass, Adoration nights, and formation events.
  • Equip members to become leaders — through talks, choir formation, altar serving, and apostolic formation (like our Mustard Seed program).
  • Engage their parishes and communities — living out a missionary identity in daily life.

The beautiful thing is: this isn’t just staff-driven. Our members are the ones driving so much of this. They spearhead initiatives, give their time outside of work, and pour themselves into this mission — because they believe in what the Chaplaincy is about:
  • making Jesus known,
  • building authentic community,
  • and going out to serve in their parishes and neighbourhoods. 

​We’ve got plenty more ideas and plans on the horizon. If you’d like to support us and help make it all possible — we’d love to have you on board.

To learn more about SFXC, visit https://www.sfxc.ca/ or follow us on Instagram @sfxchaplaincy.
​
We also have a donation campaign running for two weeks starting June 9 — and all donations will be matched! If you’d like to contribute, visit https://www.catholicyyc.ca/donatetosfxc.html.

Coming home to the Catholic Church

6/8/2025

1 Comment

 
Before my conversion, I had returned to Jesus because of a vivid dream, one I still struggle to fully describe, but that changed everything. Until then, I was living a secular life. Though I had known Jesus in childhood through my grandmother, I had turned away in my youth, disheartened by prejudices, poor examples, and inconsistencies in the faith I saw. I felt ashamed after my dream because I knew I was wrong.
​
Waking up that morning, I knew I had encountered something sacred. I was overwhelmed and confused, but I felt sure the Holy Spirit was guiding me. So, I followed that prompting, diving into Scripture, seeking out conversations with Christian friends, listening to teachings online, and repenting. This all took place during the COVID years, when church life was difficult to access, but my hunger to know God only deepened.

In 2023, we started visiting Protestant churches, hoping to find a spiritual home. Yet each time, I left feeling uncomfortable and unsettled. The sermons often felt like TED Talks. The music was concert-style. Something was missing. I didn’t know what at first, but I later realized I was longing for transcendence, reverence, and spiritual structure. I wanted more than inspiration. I wanted tradition. I wanted truth.

When my middle daughter said she wanted to attend a Catholic high school, I reluctantly decided to go to Mass with my sister-in-law, who is Catholic. That first Mass felt different: quiet, reverent, and sacred. It wasn’t trying to entertain, it was pointing me to God. For the first time in a long time, I felt like I had come home.

We began attending a small parish in our neighbourhood and eventually joined the RCIA program that fall. My two younger children and I went through the process together, and it felt like being embraced after a long journey. What struck me most was the richness of Catholic tradition, the depth of its teachings, the reverence shown to Mary and the Saints, and the groundedness of its moral clarity. Unlike the confusion I had grown used to in secular culture and even in some Christian spaces, the Catechism offered definitive, thoughtful answers. Catholicism doesn’t shy away from hard truths; it proclaims them with love and confidence.
Picture
​I also came to understand something that shifted everything: the Catholic Church isn’t a man-made institution added later; it is the Church Jesus founded. The historical continuity from the apostles to today’s Church shocked me. Early Christians believed in things I had been told were “later inventions,” like the Eucharist as the true Body and Blood of Christ, the veneration of Mary, and the power of sacred tradition.
I found beauty in Catholic discipline. Practices like fasting, praying the rosary, and following the liturgical calendar don’t just feel “old-fashioned,” they feel anchoring. They help me live my faith, not just think about it. I’ve also discovered a new appreciation for the union of the physical and spiritual: how God uses ordinary things—bread, wine, water, oil—as well as ordinary people to do extraordinary things. The sacraments are more than symbols; they are direct encounters with grace.

Now, after being baptized and confirmed, I do indeed feel like a new creation. My heart is on fire and hungry to learn more. I’m no longer confused or searching aimlessly, I’m rooted. I’m grateful for the years of questioning because they led me here, somewhere I honestly never thought I would be. Now, I am full of joy and eager to grow. I want to learn more, serve more, and stay close to the heart of Jesus.

​What I once feared would feel restrictive has become the greatest freedom I’ve ever known.

AI at a crossroads: Safeguarding the human person

6/2/2025

4 Comments

 
In Edmonton this past week, Catholic leaders from Alberta's sectors of education, healthcare, social services, and post-secondary institutions came together with the bishops for the 5th Summit of the Mission Collaborative Initiative (MCI). This year’s summit explored Artificial Intelligence (AI) through a Catholic lens—navigating its philosophical, theological, and practical dimensions.

The Alberta bishops created the MCI in 2018 as a forum for those in leadership roles within Catholic organizations to advise the bishops on shared challenges that could impact the Church’s mission. It also serves to foster collaboration and a unified Catholic response in the public sphere. This initiative is unique in the Church in Canada and can serve as a model of synodal structure and process—one that promotes lay co-responsibility and communal discernment to strengthen the Church’s mission.

This year’s topic on AI was especially relevant to today’s context. We had excellent presenters who not only shared current information but also encouraged reflection on AI in light of Catholic social teaching.
​
The first speaker, Mr. Matthew Harvey Sanders, founder of the platform Magisterium AI, continues to collaborate with pontifical universities in Rome to increase access to the patrimony of their literary resources. The second speaker, Fr. Michael Baggot, teaches in Rome and is recognized as an expert on the ethical implications of emerging technologies and the social impact of transhumanism. Mr. Joseph Pedrola, Product Owner – Training at Amii (Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute), shared practical considerations regarding AI usage.

In Mr. Sanders’ presentation, he emphasized why AI is too important a technology to ignore. He outlined the five levels of AI currently in use or development and explained how rapid advancements have led to exponential growth in capability and affordability. He pointed out that white-collar jobs are almost certain to be affected—trends already visible in business sectors. Quoting Elon Musk, he noted: “In a benign scenario, probably none of us will have a job.”

One especially noteworthy point was a recent survey highlighting changes in how individuals use AI. From 2024 to 2025, the top three uses were: as therapy for loneliness (often substituting transhumanist relationships for real human encounters), organizing one’s life, and searching for meaning and purpose. He described differing views on AI's impact—ranging from "doomers" to "boomers"—a contrast between nihilism and a hopeful vision in which humans seek fulfillment in God. He concluded that the Church is uniquely positioned to offer this vision of hope and provide an “off-ramp” for those seeking truly human encounters rooted in meaning and faith.

Fr. Baggot stressed that human beings must not be defined by technology. He called for ethical “guardrails” for emerging technologies and emphasized that the Church excels at fostering interpersonal relationships and communion—offering an antidote to the epidemics of loneliness, depression, and anxiety. He reminded us that we are made in the image and likeness of God, which is an image of communion. Where this communion is lacking, people often turn to inadequate substitutes. Quoting C.S. Lewis, he said, “The holiest reality next to the Blessed Sacrament is our neighbour.” Human capacities for empathy, compassion, and challenge enable us to flourish as beings made in God’s image.
All presenters agreed that we are at an "existential opportunity" and that the Church must advocate for economic, moral, and social safeguards to address the negative effects of AI on individuals and society. They also recognized the potential for “digital AI enrichment” in fields such as healthcare, education, social services, and within the Church. However, this enrichment must be guided by the “analog touch” of respect, compassion, and genuine human support.

Participants at the summit found it a valuable learning experience. Dialogue and table discussions, structured around “Conversation in the Spirit,” surfaced significant insights from Catholic leaders and young adults alike. These insights are being compiled and will be presented to the Alberta bishops for further discernment and response. In summary, the bishops received the following message:
  1. Keep the conversation going
  2. We are in a revolutionary epoch of change
  3. The Church has something to offer
  4. The Church’s teaching on Christian anthropology is foundational
  5. Catholic institutions actively share in the Church’s mission and support the Alberta bishops
​
​The conversation on AI will continue this fall at St. Mary’s University in Calgary, where the diocese will host a joint conference titled What Catholics Should Know About AI (Oct 17-18, St. Mary's University, Calgary). This is too important a topic to miss or ignore.

Out of the darkness, into the light

6/2/2025

7 Comments

 
It’s hard for me to articulate fully a proper testimony to Jesus in just a couple pages. The audience this reaches is far too broad to cater to every individual, a lot of whom I care deeply for and with whom I have a long history. Many have a diverse and/or complicated relationship with religion. For some, it’s an essential part of life; for others, it’s seen as an ignorant abomination of society.

I understand both ends of that spectrum. I lived most of my life as an atheist—albeit a respectful one. I wasn’t anti-religion, but I firmly believed that science and logic had, and would continue to, erase any remaining mystery in the world.

Four years ago (almost to the day), I reached a breaking point in my life. Not my first—and certainly not my last—but a significant one. I have a long history of mental health struggles. I’ve been on and off medications since I was 20, in and out of therapy for years, diagnosed with this and that. I’ve battled alcohol dependency and suicidal thoughts. If you know me, you’ve likely witnessed this at one point or another. It’s been the undercurrent of every day of my life for over 30 years.

I cope, I grow, I manage—but it’s always with me. I accept that. This is not a “Jesus cured my depression” story. I still fight that battle daily.

Yet what happened four years ago was a call out of the darkness. I awoke in the middle of the night with very dark, troubling thoughts. I couldn’t shake them. I couldn’t fall back asleep. It was around 3:30 a.m., and I felt compelled to go for a run in my neighborhood. Running wasn’t unusual for me—but certainly not at that hour.
​

I put on my shoes, left a note on the table for my family, and quietly slipped out the door. My usual jogging route takes me past Saint Patrick’s—one of the most prominent and historic churches in Medicine Hat. If you're from here, you know it's a beautiful city landmark.

As I ran down the street, fighting the demons in my mind, I felt drawn to cut through the parking lot and sit on a bench—not from physical exhaustion, but from complete mental defeat. I sat there in the darkness, looking up at the statue of St. Teresa of Ávila. I had nothing left but to completely surrender and pray—either to be struck dead or to be helped by the Holy Spirit.

That cry into the void wasn’t met with the death I begged for—but with a radiant warmth inside me. It felt like a spiritual fire had been lit in my chest. A veil that had blinded me my entire life was suddenly torn away, like a bandage ripped from my eyes.

From that night forward, I began studying theology with the fervour of a hyper-focused child—specifically Catholicism, as I’d always felt drawn to its rich traditions and deep historical roots. I read works from early Church Fathers and Saints—Augustine of Hippo, Thomas Aquinas, Catherine of Siena—names that especially stood out. I read books by Bishop Robert Barron, watched his Catholicism documentaries, and followed his weekly homilies.

I began a loose but dedicated prayer routine. After a couple of years feeling the transformative power and wisdom granted through faith, I started attending mass at the very church where my journey had begun.

I went alone. I had no close Catholic friends. In fact, many people around me despised the Catholic Church—due to its troubled past, its scandals, and the way it’s portrayed by the media and entertainment industry. But I wasn’t deterred.
In today’s world, proclaiming any faith is an act of rebellion—let alone Catholic faith. I’ve always been the rebellious type. Judgment from others rarely dents my determination to follow my own path.

Last year, after attending mass for several months, I reached out to the church office to ask about being baptized and becoming a full member. Deacon Terry set up a meeting, and I shared the same story I’m now sharing with you.
After we exchanged contact information, he told me RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) classes would begin in the fall—and that my name was now on the list.

From September to April, I attended the weekly classes, went to mass two or sometimes three days a week, and even joined the church choir. I now sing and rehearse with them weekly. Through it all, I’ve found an amazing community, new friendships, and unspeakable blessings.

The acts of service in which I've been able to participate in—both for others and for the broader community—have already begun to change my life and open my heart in ways I can’t fully explain.

On Saturday night, during the Easter Vigil mass, I was baptized, confirmed, and received my First Communion—surrounded by friends, family, and nothing but love, both around me and from above. 
​

Thank you all. Bless you all. Also, thank you for reading my testimony to Jesus.

Written by Justin Quinton for Faithfully. He was baptized into the Catholic Church at St. Patrick’s Parish in Medicine Hat during the Easter Vigil of 2025.

Deacon Amadeo Malate: A Pioneer of Service

6/2/2025

0 Comments

 
Deacon Amadeo Malate first encountered the Cursillo Movement while working in Guam. When his parish launched a program to form married deacons, many Cursillistas, including Amadeo, embraced the call. He was ordained on May 17, 1975.

Before he could begin ministry in Guam, Amadeo returned to the Philippines to complete immigration paperwork for Canada. While waiting, he served at San Roque Parish in Mandaluyong with the blessing of Cardinal Sin—his first official assignment as a deacon.

The Malate family arrived in Calgary on October 27, 1975. Amadeo offered his service to Bishop O’Byrne, becoming the Diocese of Calgary’s first married deacon. While the role was unfamiliar to many, Fr. Molnar at St. Elizabeth of Hungary Parish warmly welcomed the family, even offering them temporary housing.

Over the years, Deacon Amadeo served in several parishes across Calgary, including Sacred Heart, St. Mark’s, St. Francis of Assisi, and St. James. He also ministered in schools, taught catechism, and served as a chaplain at SAIT, where he worked as a machinist instructor.
​
Now 90, Deacon Amadeo lives at Providence Care Centre after a stroke earlier this year. He welcomes visits from those he once served with joy and gratitude.
