Eucharistic Missionary

Tanner Kalina

Meet Our Missionary

I am a Catholic missionary and artist currently living with my wife in Denver, Colorado. I chase holiness in my day-to-day, failing frequently but continuing constantly. Thanks be to God, I have had the great pleasure of spreading the Gospel with ministries such as Ascension Presents, FOCUS, NET, and others. Alongside speaking and writing, I am the co-creator of the Saints Alive podcast, which aims to bring the stories of the saints to life.

The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Catholic Church, which means it’s the source and summit of my life. I believe wholeheartedly that personal transformation is born from the Bread of Life. Therefore, I believe that societal and cultural transformation is born from the Bread of Life. This Eucharistic Revival is more than an event—it’s a movement that will shape the course of our country’s foreseeable future—and I’m beyond grateful to play a small part in this mission.
