A life-long Catholic, he is president of the Envoy institute which published the Catholic journal, Envoy Magazine, from 1996-2011 and currently conducts the Catholic Apologetics Academy and Catholic Apologetics Summer Camps.
Cardinal Edward Egan, the Archbishop Emeritus of New York, commented publicly on the effectiveness of Patrick’s approach to apologetics saying, ”How do you bring a friend or relative back into the Church? First, you pray. Then, you follow Patrick Madrid’s advice in his book ‘Search and Rescue.’”
Patrick has authored or edited 22 books on Catholic themes including, “Why Be Catholic?” “Pope Fiction,” “Search and Rescue,” “Does the Bible Really Say That”? and “Envoy for Christ: 25 Years as a Catholic Apologist” and the multi-volume “Surprised by Truth” series. His total book sales exceed 1 million copies worldwide, including foreign-language editions. Over the last 30 years, Patrick also has published numerous popular articles on Scripture, Church history, patristics, apologetics and evangelization in various Catholic and Protestant periodicals. In addition, he’s contributed scholarly articles on apologetics in the New Catholic Encyclopedia.
The “Patrick Madrid Show” airs weekdays from 6 am to 9 am Pacific Time and is produced by Immaculate Heart Radio. Patrick also hosted several EWTN television series, including “Pope Fiction,” “Search & Rescue,” and “Where Is That In the Bible?” He is a frequent guest and occasional guest-host on the “Catholic Answers Live” program.
Patrick and his wife Nancy have been married for 34 years and they have 11 children and 16 grandchildren. Their most important goal as a couple is to hear the Lord Jesus say to them and their children one day, “Well done, good and faithful servants; you have been faithful over a little … now enter into the joy of your Master.”
