Kris Frank serves as Vice President of Mission Advancement for the National Eucharistic Congress. A profound encounter with the Blessed Sacrament during high school sparked his call to ministry, setting him on a lifelong path of evangelization and service. Since joining the Congress in 2023, Kris has contributed to major initiatives including revival resource development, parish leader formation, and service on the National Eucharistic Revival executive committee.
Prior to this, Kris spent six years as Vice President of Vagabond Missions, an inner-city ministry for at-risk youth. He and his family lived as local missionaries, and their time there deepened his conviction that the Eucharist commits us to the poor—a belief he continues to live out in his Steubenville neighborhood.
Kris is a nationally recognized Catholic speaker known for making the Gospel accessible. He speaks regularly at retreats, conferences, and parish missions, focusing on discipleship, suffering, and the kerygma. He’s also the author of Hope Always: An Anchor for Life’s Storms and Embracing Hope in Christ.
A graduate of Franciscan University of Steubenville, Kris holds degrees in Theology and Catechetics and is a trained spiritual director. He and his wife, Grace, are raising their six children in Ohio—where he enjoys a good cup of coffee, a nice book, and the outdoors.
