What inspired an Evangelical pastor, international missionary, and church planter to find her spiritual home in the Catholic Church?

REDWOOD FALLS, Minn. - This was the focus of evangelist’s Barbara Heil’s presentation during the Diocese of New Ulm’s Bishop Lucker Lecture held Friday, March 7 at the Church of St. Catherine’s in Redwood Falls. The yearly lecture, named after the late Bishop Raymond A. Lucker, is a significant event in the diocese’s calendar. Heil’s evening presentation, “Beauty of the Eucharist,” focused on her journey from Protestant missionary to Catholic advocate.

Heil’s journey to becoming Catholic is a powerful testament to the transformative power of faith. In 2014, Heil found her spiritual home in the Roman Catholic Church in April 2014. Since then, her desire to share the deep love of our Heavenly Father led her to found From His Heart Ministries, a living testament to her unwavering faith and commitment.

Since becoming Catholic, Heil has traveled in the United States and worldwide. She has appeared on EWTN’s The Coming Home Network, spoken at the International Eucharistic Congress in Budapest, and on numerous television and radio programs. As an associate of Renewal Ministries and Encounter Ministries, Heil conducts parish missions, revivals, retreats, conferences, and ministers in foreign missions.
