Saint Joseph Communications Presents Bruce Sullivan

As a former "Church of Christ" minister, Bruce Sullivan was a zealous apostle for what he believed to be the true gospel. As such, he was also an ardent anti-Catholic. In fact, his dream was to be a missionary to the largest Catholic nation in the world --- Brazil.

However, all of that changed when he was confronted with the truth and beauty of the Catholic faith while trying to evangelize a Catholic family that had moved into his community. He found that this devout Catholic family wasn't that easy to convert. Because of that Catholic family he started to question his own denominations beliefs and doctrine.

After agonizing daily over the issues with the "Church of Christ" for 18 months, Sullivan was finally received into the Catholic Church during the Easter Vigil of 1995.

Since being received into the Catholic Church, Bruce has served as a catechist in his local parish, a lecturer, a speaker on topics related to Catholic apologetics and a dedicated foot soldier in the New Evangelization called for by Pope John Paul II.

Sullivan has been a guest on EWTN's "Mother Angelica Live," "The Journey Home," "Deep in Scripture."

He presently resides with his wife, Gloria, and their five children on a family farm in Kentucky.
On May 5, Sullivan will be giving two separate talks. His first talk will consist of sharing some of the details of his conversion to the Catholic faith. Particular emphasis will be placed on the primary issue that brought him to the Catholic Church (i.e. that of authority). He will also spend some time providing an answer to the question once asked him by a non-Catholic co-worker: "What did you find in Catholicism that you did not find in Protestantism?"

In the second talk, Sullivan will focus on one of the gifts that he has received from the Catholic Church, namely, Christ in the fullness of his word. Particular emphasis will be placed on the church's teachings regarding the inerrancy of sacred scripture.

This is a particularly timely topic, in view of the widespread confusion that exists in the minds of many regarding the nature of inspiration and its necessary implications.

Come and join us at Sacred Heart Chapel in Covina, at 126 S. 5th Ave. in Covina.

Bring family members or friends that you believe will benefit from this dynamic speaker and topic.
