about AlEX  Gotay

Alex Gotay is a dynamic, nationally recognized speaker known for igniting hearts and minds across generations. With a rare blend of passion, humor, authenticity, and deep faith, Alex connects powerfully with teens, young adults, and adults alike. His energetic presence, real-life stories, and engaging style make the Gospel come alive—meeting people right where they are and drawing them into the heart of Christ.
​

As a convert to Catholicism, Alex offers a unique and compelling perspective that resonates deeply with today’s culture. He has keynoted major national and diocesan youth conferences—including upcoming Steubenville Youth Conferences—spoken at official Life Teen events, appeared on EWTN, and is a featured voice on the Hallow App. He also co-hosts the “Sainthood in the City” podcast and has been featured on numerous national and international podcasts, radio shows, and media platforms.

But Alex is more than a speaker—he’s a husband of 25 years, a father to four boys, a retreat leader, evangelist, and a seasoned youth ministry professional with over 15 years of experience. His real-world grit is reflected in his background as a 4th-degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt, a former UFC/MMA coach, and someone who knows what it means to fight for souls—both spiritually and physically.

Whether speaking at conferences, leading retreats, or preaching from the stage, Alex brings the fire of the Holy Spirit in a way that’s unforgettable, transformative, and deeply life-giving.

TESTIMONIALS

"Alex is a powerful speaker who is used by God through the gifts of the Holy Spirit.  He speaks to the young church and meets them where they are at.  We need men who live authentically and are not afraid to talk about Jesus and worship Him in the modern world.  His  love for Christ radiates upon the young church.  He is a conduit of grace!"
- Angelica Gomez, Diocese of Trenton, NJ, Associate Director of Youth Ministry
"Alex is one speaker that goes beyond a stage.  He embraces the youth and young adult culture and shows them that it's possible to be relevant in the world around them but to also strive for holiness.  In our Diocese we seen all participate, even those that normally don't engage,  intrigued and participating.  His style connects with all and has a way of reaching out to those who may feel or been seen as outside the fold and make them feel welcome."
- Courtney Walker,  Diocese of Laredo, Associate Director of Youth Ministry
Alex Gotay is the real deal! It’s rear to see a Catholic theologian from the concrete jungles of America, but Alex makes this dichotomy an absolute reality!"

- Oscar  Rivera Jr., Director of Youth Ministry, Diocese of Fall River, MA
