Hackett to Welcome Acclaimed Speaker Paul J. Kim

Nationally Renowned Catholic Speaker Paul J. Kim Coming to Hackett Catholic Prep
Hackett Catholic Prep is excited to welcome one of the most sought-after Catholic speakers in America — Paul J. Kim — for a two-day visit on April 7–8.

On the evening of Tuesday, April 7 at 7:00 p.m., Paul will deliver a free, public community presentation in the HCP Auditorium, open to students, families, and the broader Kalamazoo community. Whether you're a lifelong Catholic or someone simply searching for something more, this is an evening you won't want to miss. The event is hosted by Catholic Schools of Greater Kalamazoo and is free to attend — donations are gratefully accepted at csgk.org/guest-speaker.

On Wednesday, April 8, Paul will continue his visit with presentations for HCP students and faculty. Students will hear his signature message — one that meets young people exactly where they are, blending music, beatboxing, comedy, and raw personal testimony to bring the Gospel to life. For faculty and staff, Paul will present Your Classroom Is Not Just a Job — It's a Ministry, a powerful talk rooted in his two decades of experience working with young people across 50 states and 16 countries. The presentation offers both spiritual inspiration and practical strategies on how every staff member on campus can help change the lives of their students and lead them closer to God.

Paul utilizes his many talents including music, beatboxing, comedy, and inspirational talks to communicate the Gospel message of Christ in a way that is engaging, entertaining, and altogether life-changing. He is the author of the best-selling A Catholic Guide to Adulting, the founder of the Triumph Men's Conference, and presents to an average of 40,000 people a year at events throughout the world.

The April 7 community presentation is free and open to the public. We hope to see you there.
