Fees and Arrangements:

Speaking stipend depends on the size of the group. The minimal fee is $500 for one talk before a small or mid-sized group or parish. For large parishes or diocesan gatherings, the fee is $1000. For parishes in the Fort Wayne area, the fee is $250.

If talks are part of a fund-raising event, please contact for a different set of fees.

If you would like a book-signing, but with no talk, again, please contact.

If you would like both Amy Welborn and Michael Dubruiel to speak, the fee is $750 for an evening or half-day, $1000 for a full day. Larger organizations, including diocesan groups, should contact us separately. Michael is available to do parish missions; I am not.

Sponsoring organization will also pay travel expenses, including car rental and hotel. Space for child care will probably also be needed. Speakers wll make their own travel and lodging arrangements.

Stipend is payable upon completion of talk, expenses may be reimbursed after receipts are provided.

I'll also need a table and one volunteer to help with book sales.
