Deacon Matt Halbach - Catholic Revert

Journey Home

Deacon Matt Halbach grew up Catholic but wasn’t very well formed. As a young man, he began to struggle with depression and anxiety, and was even thinking of suicide at one point. In the midst of that, a coworker began to share his Catholic faith, and invited Matt back to Mass. Finally, he agreed to go, and went back to Confession. Everything changed for him from there, and he had a major conversion. He went on to do youth and family ministry, and eventually discerned a vocation to the diaconate.
