Renewing the fire of the HOLY SPIRIT in the Catholic Church
Speaker: Jay Collins
I am a lifelong Catholic, raised by parents who instilled in me the value of service through faith. My father served as an usher at Mass, and my mother as a Eucharistic minister—examples that shaped my understanding of what it means to serve others. Inspired by their witness, I sought opportunities to lead and give back, whether by organizing retreats in high school and college or now by leading the Young Catholic Professionals (YCP) chapter here in Columbus.
During college, I was deeply involved with St. Paul's Outreach (SPO), a Catholic missionary organization that equips students to evangelize and live in authentic Catholic community. My time with SPO nurtured a passion for helping others find belonging and experience God’s love—something that continues to drive my work with YCP. Our mission is to build a vibrant community for young adults across the diocese and to create space for both spiritual and professional growth.
Professionally, I work as a Full Stack Web Developer at JPMorgan Chase & Co., where I'm grateful to collaborate with talented colleagues and engage with a wide network of professionals. Before this, I worked as a Machine Learning Engineer at Wright-Patterson Air Force Research Lab and earned my degree from The Ohio State University in 2022.

Renewing the fire of the HOLY SPIRIT in the Catholic Church
"I am convinced that this movement is a very important component of the entire renewal of the Church."
Pope St. John Paul, speaking to international leaders of the Renewal
~ December 11, 1979
Pope Francis- ‘I expect this movement: to do these three things – baptism in the Holy Spirit, unity in the body of Christ and service to the poor – are the forms of witness that, by virtue of baptism, all of us are called to give for the evangelization of the world. An evangelization that is not proselytism but first and foremost witness: a witness of love. “See how they love one another”. That was what impressed those who encountered the first Christians. “See how they love one another”.
