History
Since the early 1990s, Kevin has been utilized by quite a few churches in the St Cloud area (and in the Mpls/St Paul archdiocese) as a guest-speaker in their faith-formation programs -- with youth and with adults. (Several have been videotaped.) Since 2000, he also been utilized in settings with college-students at SCSU and CSB/SJU. Evaluations have been consistently strong; and there have been numerous requests for sessions the following year(s).
