Chad Judice talks on different subjects including:

The Culture of Life:    

- Blessings Not Burdens: The Joys of a Special Needs Child

    - The impacts of living the Catholic Faith    

- One solitary life: Teenage Pregnancy: Adoption not Abortion

    - An Easter Miracle: Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos    

   Chad Judice, father of Elijah "Eli" Paul Judice a five year old with spina - bifida illustrates how sharing that journey of communal prayer with St. Thomas More Catholic High School community with multiple audiences has rekindled the dormant faith of incarcerated men, fathers who had become preoccupied with career and lost focus on family, and inspiring those facing unexpected illness or tragedy in life to cling to God.  He also shares the stories of a teenage and married couple, who after an unexpected prenatal diagnosis and encountering Eli's story in the midst of it, chose to carry their babies to term. As well as an infertile married couple who were moved by the journey of the Judice family to adopt a child with Down Syndrome. The presentation climaxes with Holy Week and Easter weekend of 2011 at Tulane Medical Center in downtown New Orleans when Eli is delivered from a life threatening medical situation through what Chad and many others believe is a bona-fide miracle. One that could eventually get a 19th century Redemptorist priest canonized a saint in the Catholic Church.
