CIA-Faith Mission Operatives ministry is excited to host Maximus Cabey on April 4th

On Tuesday, April 4, 2023, our CIA-Faith Mission Operatives ministry is excited to host Maximus Cabey as he presents “My Journey Back to the Catholic Church” at 7 p.m. in the Xavier Fine Arts Theatre. This is a personal and honest story of his life.

For the past 30-plus years he has held ministry roles in Catholic, non-denominational and Eastern Orthodox churches, and currently serves as Child & Youth Faith Formation Director and Ecumenical Officer for the Diocese of Green Bay.

He admits that his departure from the Catholic Church was, in part, because he was impatient and immature. Cabey shares insights he gained that can help the Church understand and meet the challenges it faces today.
