"Dave Rinaldi has the ability to capture the attention of teens with an engaging presentation. There is just enough truth, humor, testimony, and scripture to appeal to any age. He meets teens where they are at, using their language, then draws them deeper into our beautiful Catholic Faith. The teens don’t even realize he is challenging them to live out their faith more fully." Jessica Balzarini, Faith Formation Director, St. John the Baptist Church, Excelsior, MN.
