Kevin Wells is a former award-winning Catholic author, speaker, and former sports reporter with the Tampa Tribune, where he covered Major League Baseball. He is the best-selling author of The Hermit: The Priest Who Saved a Soul, a Marriage, and a Family (Ignatius Press), and The Priests We Need to Save the Church, a written plea for holy priests to live like the paragons, martyrs, and great saints before them. His book has been read by thousands of clergy members and laity and has quickly disseminated in bulk to seminarians across the world.
Kevin is a prolific writer whose articles have appeared at Crisis Magazine, Catholic World Report, Catholic Exchange, LifeSiteNews, The National Catholic Register, and Homiletic and Pastoral Review. He is an active evangelist who has spoken on a national Catholic stage including the Legatus Summit, Napa Institute, That Man is You, on EWTN, the TASTE program, as well as hundreds of other men’s and women’s conferences, retreats, seminaries, and events, radio programs and podcasts. Kevin speaks on the urgent need for heroic lives of virtue and untamed Catholicism in the public square, in addition to many other Catholic topics.
Wells, inspired by the startling life of American Venerable Aloysius Schwartz, traveled to Mexico and spent a month at World Villages For Children, an organization in Chalco, Mexico run by The Sisters of Mary, a religious community – founded by Venerable Schwartz. Wells was so moved by the stories of “Fr. Al” and witnessing firsthand the sisters’ round-the-clock work to nourish, house, catechize and care for 20,000-plus teens in seven different countries, he penned the acclaimed biography: Priest and Beggar: The Heroic Life of Venerable Aloysius Schwartz, published in 2021 by Ignatius Press.
