Hear stories of how a Catholic Street Evangelist found joy in spreading
the good news in Berkeley!
the good news in Berkeley!
David Brandt is the Team Director for the Berkeley chapter of St. Paul Street Evangelization, a grass-roots apostolate dedicated to taking the good news of Christ to the streets in a non-confrontational way. His group founded in 2014, sets up a table with posters, brochures and rosaries and routinely goes out to high foot-traffic areas like farmer’s markets and street-fairs in the Berkeley area to plant the seeds of the good news.
David grew up in a Catholic Family. At age 14 he joined a minor seminary to discern if he was being called to Holy Orders. He later left the seminary, married and along with his wife had four children. He languished in lukewarm faith for years until he attended a Men’s Cursillo weekend and then everything changed. It was his ongoing involvement in a Cursillo men’s group that helped him understand God’s call to evangelize and to lead him to start a local chapter for St. Paul Street Evangelization.
David and his wife Linda live in Pinole and attend St. Joseph’s Parish. David works full time as a cemetery counselor for the Cathedral of Christ the Light.

2022 Bishop's Appeal
We humbly ask the people of the Diocese of Oakland to participate in the day-to-day work of meeting the needs of the faithful. The Bishop's Ministries Appeal supports the ministries that go out into the parishes – faith formation and evangelization, CYO sports, formation of priests to serve those parishioners, care of the retired priests, and meeting the unexpected needs of schools and parishes. Hear from Bishop Barber about the vital work your donations support through the Bishop's Ministries Appeal.
“Feed my lambs, feed my sheep’ refers primarily to Holy Communion, but it also extends to the ministries of instruction, catechism, schools, and charities; feeding people with the word of God, feeding people with the truth of the Catholic faith, feeding people with pastoral care."
