Speaker Marco Casanova



Marco Casanova is a Parish Lead at Hallow and a Catholic speaker, teacher, and pastoral leader living in Houston, Texas. 

He holds a Master of Divinity and a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary in Philadelphia and brings over seven years of experience in pastoral ministry, leadership formation, and public speaking.


Prior to joining Hallow, Marco served as Associate Director of Desert Stream Ministries, where he oversaw the launch and accompaniment of parish-based prayer groups throughout the United States and abroad, including Europe and Southeast Asia. His ministry involved close collaboration with pastors, bishops, seminary faculty, and lay leaders, as well as teaching Catholic theology and anthropology in parish, university, and seminary settings.


Marco has contributed to seminary formation, ministry publications, episcopal advisory initiatives, and large-scale training events, and has collaborated with apostolates such as the Theology of the Body Institute, FOCUS, and Catholic Answers.

Marco is married to his wife Ania, and together they are raising their daughter, Marianna. His work is rooted in a deep love for Jesus Christ, fidelity to the Church, and a desire to help parishes build ever richer, ever deeper cultures of prayer.
