GLASSBORO, N.J. – Former NFL star and Christian speaker, Joe Klecko, had the honor of giving the keynote speech to a group of 50 men at the Catholic Men’s Conference, held on Sept. 14 at Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Mary, Mother of Mercy Parish, in Glassboro, N.J. The conference was co-sponsored by Mary, Mother of Mercy Parish and the Knights of Columbus, St. John Neumann and Our Lady Queen of Peace councils.
Joe Klecko, former defensive lineman for the NY Jets, talks about how his faith in God saved him from a life of crime and bankruptcy and spreads the message of what it takes to be a champion for God.
Klecko spoke about his personal issues after his retirement from the NFL, and how his faith in God saved him from a life of crime and bankruptcy. “What I give to the Lord, he has returned to me tenfold, Klecko said.”
Bryan Dickerson, one of the conference organizers, felt it was “good to hear from an atypical athlete, who talks not about himself, but about Jesus and the church. It was personable and humbling.”

Klecko, who recalled growing up a “cradle Catholic” in Chester, Pa., played for 12 years in the NFL. He is best remembered as a defensive lineman as a member of the New York Jets’ famed “New York Sack Exchange.” He is one of our more popular Christian speakers and spreads the message of what it takes to be a champion for God.
