Archbishop Rodi and Dr. Andrew & Sarah Swafford will be our Keynote Speakers for our event.

Dr. Andrew and Sarah Swafford found Jesus Christ in a powerful way in college and
have devoted their lives to sharing the joy of his truth ever since. They speak frequently
across the country (as well as in Europe, Australia, and the Philippines) on dating,
marriage, the moral and spiritual life, St. John Paul II, and Sacred Scripture. Sarah is
the author of Emotional Virtue: A Guide to Drama-free Relationships and Andrew is
Professor of Theology at Benedictine College. He is general editor and contributor to
the Great Adventure Catholic Bible. Among his other publications are What We Believe:
The Beauty of the Catholic Faith and Ascension’s Bible studies on Romans and
