PHILADELPHIA, Penn., June 3, 2026 /Christian Newswire/ — Catholic theologian, author, speaker, and ministry leader Dr. Anne DeSantis is now accepting invitations from Catholic parishes, dioceses, retreat centers, conferences, and organizations seeking faith-filled presentations centered on evangelization, hope, outreach, and authentic Christian friendship.

Dr. DeSantis earned her Doctor of Theology degree from Pontifex University in 2024. Her doctoral dissertation focused on the virtue of affability, exploring how friendliness, kindness, and genuine human connection play a vital role in modern evangelization. The work later became the foundation for her book, The Virtue of Affability or Friendliness and Its Relevance in Modern Evangelization.

As Executive Director of the St. Raymond Nonnatus Foundation, Dr. DeSantis has dedicated her ministry to serving individuals and families who are experiencing challenges and struggles. Through speaking engagements, writing, media appearances, and personal outreach, she encourages people to encounter Christ through compassion, understanding, and authentic relationships.

During the past year, Dr. DeSantis traveled throughout the United States speaking at conferences, retreats, parish events, and Catholic gatherings. Her presentations emphasize faith, hope, healing, evangelization, and outreach to those who often feel forgotten, marginalized, or disconnected from the Church.

“People are searching for authentic relationships and a deeper sense of belonging,” said Dr. DeSantis. “My hope is to encourage individuals and communities to become instruments of God’s love through kindness, friendship, and a renewed commitment to sharing the Gospel.”

In addition to her speaking ministry, Dr. DeSantis is the author of several books and contributes regularly to Catholic publications. She has appeared on Catholic television, radio, podcasts, and online media programs, sharing practical insights on faith, evangelization, and everyday discipleship.

Parishes and organizations interested in hosting Dr. Anne DeSantis for conferences, retreats, parish missions, women’s events, and faith formation programs are encouraged to inquire about 2026 and 2027 availability.
