Catholic Youth Stand Up for Life Rally

Saturday, January 11, 2020 Township Auditorium - Columbia, SC Key Note Speaker - Sean Forrest

In January of 2000, Sean founded Movin’ With The Spirit, Inc. (MWTS), a not for- profit organization dedicated to boldly proclaiming God’s eternal truth and love. The group’s mission is to reach out to the lost and lonely in the name of Christ. Since then, Sean has had the opportunity to speak to hundreds of thousands of teens and adults across the country and internationally. He has been a guest on multiple programs on the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) and has been featured in nationally recognized magazines and newspapers. Sean has performed and spoken at venues such as: The National Catholic Youth Conference, , and the Creation fest and Soul fest Christian music festivals. He is an annual keynote speaker at the Steubenville youth conferences-and challenges men at diocesan men’s conferences throughout the country to live their faith and lead others to Christ. He reaches out to both the hearts and minds of his audiences, in keeping with the focus of John Paul II’s Fides et Ratio (Faith and Reason). Building on his organization's work in the U.S., Sean has also mobilized a team to house, feed, and care for the poor of Haiti-children and villagers in desperate need of support. Haiti180 constructed and operates a chapel, lively orphanage, state- of-the-art school, and home for the elderly and a medical clinic for the local and surrounding communities. The Catholic Digest published an article about his mission in Haiti and EWTN recently did a two-part documentary with Chris Stefanik from Real Life Catholic on Haiti180. Sean is a graduate of Holy Apostles College and Seminary in Cromwell, Connecticut, where he did work as an instructor and retreat leader. He now lives in Nashville, TN with his wife Julie and three children.
