Our conference speakers are among the best in the Catholic world, coming to the heartland from as far away as Rome, Scotland, South America and Australia.

 Francis Cardinal Arinze

 The first African considered for the papacy in 1,000 years, Cardinal Arinze offers a rare combination of gravitas and humor as he brings us to a greater understanding of the Holy Eucharist and raising our families in faith. 

 Bishop Richard Pates

Richard E. Pates, ordained in 1968 in Rome, was appointed as the ninth bishop of the Diocese of Des Moines in 2008. From pastoral roles and vocational director to archdiocese administration, he also has served as the Vatican’s representative in the U.S.

  Matthew Kelly

One of the most popular Catholic speakers today, Kelly brings humor and charm as he fires us up to become "the best version of ourselves," and by teaching the seven critical things we can do to grow closer to God and live.

  Magnus McFarlane

The founder of Scottish International Relief and Mary's Meals, Barrow has turned his scriptural dream of service into reality, and shows how each of us can make a difference as Christ's hands and heart in this world. 

Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow selected as one of the CNN Heroes of 2010!

   Marino Restrepo

Kidnapped by Colombian rebels, blindfolded and handcuffed for six months, lying in bat excrement in a cave deep in the jungles . . . thinking he would die each day, Restrepo survived, only to glimpse what few on earth have ever had the privilege to experience.
