New lineup features inspiring content from Catholic leaders on peacemaking, artificial intelligence, mercy, and youth ministry
HUNTINGTON, Ind., Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The OSV Institute for Catholic Innovation today is relaunching OSV Talks, a video series created to equip viewers with fresh ideas, practical insights, and meaningful conversations they can bring back to their communities. The new season features four talks from Catholic leaders and innovators addressing some of the most pressing opportunities and challenges facing the Church.
Built around the theme, “You are needed because love still needs hands,” the renewed OSV Talks experience is designed to do more than inspire viewers.

Through these OSV Talks and supporting resources, we’re helping ministry leaders move from inspiration to discussion and action.”
