Vicente (Vin) Santiago is an inspirational speaker. He has been with the R.O.C.K.

His talks range from  "Princes & Warriors"  that deals with relationships all the way to teaching his peers about the Catholic Church. He speaks to both youth and adult groups.

Kate

Kathy

 

Kathy struggled for a long time with poor self image, trying to measure up to the perfection of magazine models.  This lead her to eating disorders and a battle with anorexia and bolemia.  She has now accepted herself as God does and helps others to do the same.  Kathy helps behind the scenes and with prayer, but she also shares her journey along with a talk on "How do we know the Bible is True?"
