Catholic Speaker & Musician

Dan Harms is a Musician and Speaker who works full time for a Catholic Diocese overseeing Marriage, Family, and Life ministries.

Keynotes, Retreats, and Rallies

Dan has thousands of hours of on-stage experience emceeing, hosting, playing music, and speaking at events for youth, and adult audiences: Diocesan Youth Rallies, Young Adult Conferences, Catechetical Leader Convocations, Retreats, Workshops, and Staff/Faculty faith formation events. Dan leads contemporary and traditional music for Mass, Adoration, Worship, and often uses music in his keynotes.

Parish Missions

Offering one, two, and three night missions that engage, entertain, and help your community draw closer to the Lord. Missions can be tailored for the theme or focus of your choosing. My favorite structure of a three night mission unpacks the arc of the bible through the lens of Mission and Salvation History. Night one is the Father pursuing his children. Night two is Christ’s mission of redemption. Night three is the Mission of the Church, empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Wine Events

Dan offers wine and faith nights that weave together beautiful wines, a stunning visual presentation, and inspiring true stories about the rich history of wine in the Catholic Church. These events can be tailored for any crowd, but work really well for marriage enrichment nights, as fundraisers, or kick-offs for a parish mission. Audiences leave having tasted incredible wines from around the world and having learned a tremendous amount about both wine and their faith.
