Matthew Kelly, internationally acclaimed speaker and New York Times bestselling author, receives over one thousand invitations per year from schools, universities, churches, and Fortune 500 companies to speak. As an authentic example of a man leading his life with purpose, Kelly shares with us the way to the life of happiness that we are called to be part of.

Many of your friends and family think Catholicism has nothing to offer in the modern world...others think Catholicism is nothing more than a lifeless set of ancient rules and regulations...others are bored with mass and go just to fulfill a perceived obligation or because their spouse insists...perhaps you even have doubts yourself from time to time. In his talk, “Is Catholicism Still Relevant?” Kelly will dispel many of the widespread myths surrounding the practice and rejection of Catholicism while revealing the genius of Catholicism in our everyday lives. You and your loved ones will never be bored in Mass ever again after you attend this event. His presentation will be based on his book, Rediscovering Catholicism, which has been on the Catholic Publishing Association’s bestseller list for the past 32 months.

So set aside what you thought Catholicism was about and prepare yourself to experience it on a whole new level that is both PRACTICAL and ENERGIZING!

Matthew Kelly was born in Sydney, Australia, where he began his lay ministry in 1993. Since that time he has travelled in more than fifty countries and spoken to over three million people. He has written thirteen books which have appeared on the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller lists and been published in twenty-five languages. His titles include: The Rhythm of Life, The Seven Levels of Intimacy, The Dream Manager, Building Better Families, and Rediscovering Catholicism. The majority of his work today is here in the United States speaking to students from primary school through college, lay adults, priests and seminarians. He also leads numerous retreats every year, both in the United States and abroad.

In addition to his spiritual ministry, which occupies 80% of his time, Kelly is also a partner at Floyd Consulting, a Chicago based management consulting firm. His clients include: Pepsi, Proctor and Gamble,, McDonalds, USBank, 3M, Ernst & Young, HSBC, the Department of Defense, the U.S Navy, the U.S. Air Force and more than 35 other Fortune 500 companies.

Kelly’s core message, regardless of whether he is addressing CEO’s, high school students, priests, or parish communities, invites listeners to become the-best-version-of-themselves. Kelly convincingly communicates this message as God’s desire for each of us. And he insists it is also the desire of parents for their children, husbands and wives for each other, CEOs for their companies and employees, pastors for their parishes, and managers and lay ministers for those they lead and instruct.

This message of becoming the-best-version-of-yourself, inspired by Vatican II’s universal call to holiness, allows Kelly to present the genius of Catholicism through his seminars and writings in a way that is disarmingly simple and yet, deeply profound.
