Topic: Reclaiming the Great Commission: A practical conversation on sharing the Gospel and creating a welcoming community with guest Father Evan Armatas. Father Evan released his first book in 2019, Toolkit for Spiritual Growth: A practical guide to prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. His second book, Reclaiming the Great Commission: A roadmap to parish health, was released in 2022. This book is meant to aid both everyday parishioners and parish leaders alike towards greater parish health and commitment to bringing the Good News to everyone. Father Evan received his bachelor’s degree in Philosophy from Boston College with an emphasis in business management and Christian apologetics in 1991. After opening and operating his own private business, he earned his Master of Divinity from Holy Cross in 2002. In 2007 he became the first full-time priest at Saint Spyridon in Loveland, Colorado. At that time, it was a small mission parish with six families. Today it is a vibrant, diverse and growing parish of several hundred. Father Evan and his wife Presbytera Anastasia are the happy parents of four, Alexia, Eleni, and Maria, and Spyridon. They live in Fort Collins, Colorado where they ski, flyfish, and hike.
