Speakers, Presenters, Entertainers, etc.
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.
