NWS Presents: An Evening with Father James Martin

NWS Presents: An Evening with Father James Martin

Father James Martin, an author and Jesuit priest, is a familiar figure in national media and the podcast world, often speaking on complex Church issues and promoting a welcoming and inclusive Catholicism.

In his new memoir, Martin tells humorous stories of his career path as a busboy, dishwasher, caddy, usher, factory worker, bank teller, corporate tool, and, finally, his life calling–a Jesuit priest.

Father James Martin has been interviewed on Fresh Air, On Being, Fox & Friends, The Colbert Report, PBS’s NewsHour, the History Channel, BBC, and Vatican Radio and quoted in major newspapers and magazines. Before entering the Jesuits in 1988, he graduated from the Wharton School of Business.

He has written numerous books, including Jesus: A Pilgrimage and The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything, both New York Times bestsellers. Two others–My Life with the Saints and Between Heaven and Mirth–were named by Publishers Weekly as a best book of the year (2006 and 2011).
