Faith. Hope. Love.

These are not merely words—they are the theological virtues that shape and sustain Richard Lane’s ministry, deeply rooted in Sacred Scripture and the sacramental life of the Catholic Church. Richard preaches with the firm conviction that an encounter with Jesus Christ demands a response—through conversion, repentance, and faithful discipleship—here and now.

As the only African-American Catholic lay evangelist serving full-time in the United States, Richard has spent more than two decades collaborating with parishes and dioceses around the world to proclaim the Gospel in fidelity to the Magisterium of the Church. With preaching marked by truth that challenges and mercy that heals, he helps the faithful rediscover the power of the Eucharist, the grace of Reconciliation, and the call to holiness in everyday life.

At the heart of Richard’s mission is a desire to awaken hearts, strengthen parish communities, and form intentional disciples of Jesus Christ. Through parish missions, retreats, and teaching, he invites God’s people to deepen their love for Christ, His Church, and the mission entrusted to her—so that faith may be lived with joy, courage, and perseverance.
