Matthew Kelly, a dynamic Catholic writer and speaker will be speaking at St Joseph the Worker Church in Orefield February 10-12 at 7:30 pm. Here is the posting from the Church Website.
IN 1993, AT THE AGE OF 20, AUSTRALIAN BORN MATTHEW KELLY began his Catholic ministry and over the past decade has spoken to over 3 million people in more than 50 countries. Kelly is the author of twelve books including the New York Times bestseller, The Rhythm of Life; Rediscovering Catholicism, and his latest work, The Dream Manager.

With a fresh perspective and youthful approach, Matthew Kelly brings us an energizing message that springs forth from his passion for life and Catholicism. Matthew Kelly awakens our hearts and minds with a vision that sets us free to celebrate ourselves as unique individuals:

“God’s dream for us is that we become the best-version-of-ourselves. It is in pursuing this dream that we find lasting happiness in a changing world.”
