Sean DaltonSean Dalton is the Southwest Regional Director for FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students).  Sean received his Masters in Theology and Certification in Catechetics from Franciscan University in 1998.  He has eight years of experience in diocesan ministry with the Diocese of Sioux Falls and the Archdiocese of Denver in the areas of youth, young adult and campus ministry.  He also has been a parish youth minister and Director of a Bible Camp.  He speaks to both youth and adult audiences and can address a wide range of topics.  He and his wife Jennifer live in Denver, CO with their five children.  

Sean was a college football player and an Academic All-American.  As the oldest of six children in a family afflicted with alcoholism, he shares a message of healing and restoration in Christ.  His journey of faith involves four years of experience as an Evangelical Protestant Youth Pastor.  He writes: “it was the objections to Catholicism and intense conversations with many of my Protestant friends that helped me deepen my Catholic identity.” As a power lifter with a 400 lb bench press, his message to guys is “we were made to offer our strength for others and that strength is acquired through discipline, growing in virtue, and above all a co-operation with God’s grace.”
Currently Sean manages several missionaries on college campuses.  In 12 years, FOCUS has grown from 1 campus to 50.  Since that time approximately 200 men involved in the program have entered the seminary, over 60 women have entered religious life, and thousands of students have been equipped to know their faith, live it, and share it with others.

What others have said about Sean’s speaking and retreats:

The First Rocky Mountain Catholic Men's Conference was a great s success!  Sean Dalton gave an awesome multi-media presentation that moved the hearts of many men.  It was deep, alive and great fun.  In his presentation: "Evangelizing your kids! If Dads don't, the culture will!"  Sean said: "Dads our kids will understand the love of the Father primarily through us…through our unconditional love for them and our firm yet affectionate leadership!"  Hope he will accept our invitation for the next year’s conferences.”

“I was amazed to watch Sean capture the full attention of the youth at our Purity rally through humor, straight talk, and stories. Sean brought tears of laughter and joy instead of sorrow and shame as he spoke on growing in purity in all areas of our life.  Few speakers can hold the attention of an audience of Middle and High School students like Sean.”

Laugh, learn, love the Lord.... these are just some of the things Sean Dalton will help you do.  I know of no other presenter, for both adults and youth alike, that is as engaging and personable.  Sean is the full package: he's a competent evangelizer and catechist that knows how to touch people though Word, example, music, skits and more.

Stupendous! Superb!! Amazing!!!  These were just a few of the comments and compliments as we concluded our weekend. I had my monthly support group with the youth ministers yesterday and they and their kids are still talking about you.  They said that their kids were still high from the weekend at their Sunday evening meetings.  I can't express my admiration and awe of the fantastic job you did with the kids. You were beyond my expectations...and I do stand completely humbled in the presence of your Spirit-filled faith and gifts.
