Kevin Randall
As a business man, Kevin brings to us a wealth of knowledge and business acumen.
Kevin is the Chief Operating Officer of a national business that allows him to enjoy being semi-retired and focus on sharing the message of the Gospel with those whom he meets. Kevin speaks about his experience and presents to audiences about the treasures of the Rosary and the relationship that we have with our Guardian Angel. He also is sharing his experience about using the prayer beads of the East (Komboskini or Chotki).
Kevin is a life-long Roman Catholic and sees the need to expand his knowledge about the Church and how we have both East and West. As Pope John Paul II said,
"We have to breathe with both lungs, both East and West" (Ut unim sint, encyclical) and Kevin reminds the faithful that to learn about each other more that we should "Be not afraid" (John Paul II).

His Grace, Chorbishop +JOEL
After serving for 10 years in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis as a pastor, associate pastor, chaplain and other roles, Father Joel was totally engaged in the life of a Roman Catholic priest.
Now Father Joel is a Byzantine Catholic married priest and is very versed in the Eastern Rite culture and liturgies. This puts Chorbishop +JOEL in the unique position of teaching Roman Catholic priests how to become bi-ritual like he is and to be able to enjoy the Catholic Church which is both East and West.
As a leader of the Institute for Eastern Christian Studies, Chorbishop +JOEL is working very closely with Roman Catholic priests and sharing with them the richness and opportunities of the East. While being a Roman Catholic priest ordained in 2000, it was in 2019 when he became a Byzantine Catholic priest in the jurisdiction that Josyf Cardinal Slipyj established as sui juris and autocephelous that +JOEL came to realize the importance and the honor it is to know both East and West.
In his own words Chorbishop +JOEL said that "it is not possible to be fully Catholic until one is bi-ritual." He continued and said, "There is no division in the Body of Christ and the schism of 1054 will end when we come to realize that it is okay to be different."
