The 2018 recipients of the Evangelization Person Of The Year Award were the following men who were the creators and inspiration behind what we know today as “Men’s Conferences”. These men created and organized the very first Catholic Men’s conference that was every put on in the United States in their hometown of Cincinnati, OH back in 1995.
