Due to personal reasons, Jorge Rivera, the originally-scheduled Saturday keynote speaker, was forced to cancel his appearance at CYX. He sends his extreme regrets, and asks for your prayers.

 

The son of an Irish immigrant, Rich Curran was born and raised on the Southside of Chicago where he learned the basic principles of hard work: learn fast and adapt to your environment. With four boys in the house you had no choice if you wanted seconds at dinner!

It was an accident that left him temporarily unable to move during his sophomore year of college that changed the direction his life would take. Forced to retire from athletics, Rich found himself searching for his own meaning. In the process, he found so much more.

Rich Curran is a national speaker who has been helping teenagers and adults find meaning and purpose in their lives for 15 years. His passion and enthusiasm for living life fully is highly contagious and his humor, stories and specific action steps leave audiences ready to make a difference.

His strength is drawn from his two favorite passages from scripture, Matthew 5: 13-16 and Philippians 1:3-6 and his weakness lies in cheesecake!

Rich, his wife (and hero) and their two boys live in Appleton, WI.

Danielle Rose comes to CYX ready to share her "I AM" journey of self. Danielle has spend the better part of the last decade of her young life open to God's calling in her life, including a long period of discernment with The Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, a religious congregation of Franciscan Sisters.

Danielle is no stranger to Indiana, graduating from Notre Dame in 2002, where she studied music and theology. At the age of 17, Danielle traveled to Delhi, India to volunteer with Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity. From this experience, Danielle was given a desire to serve the poorest of the poor by offering her gift of music as a means of alleviating the spiritual poverty of America.

After graduating from Notre Dame, Danielle Rose traveled the globe as a music missionary in order to spread the Gospel through a joyful witness of story and song. Whether she was ministering to one million people at World Youth Day in Toronto, 25,000 at the National Catholic Youth Conference, or twenty teenagers in her hometown of Duluth, Minnesota, Danielle encouraged and challenged every soul to form a relationship with the Eucharistic Presence of Jesus through the heart of Mary.
