FEATURING KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Kerri Caviezel (wife of actor Jim Caviezel)
Kerri Caviezel has devoted her life to working with youth. After earning a degree in education from Western Washington University, Kerri spent eight years teaching junior high and high school, and ten years, with her second love, coaching basketball. Her interaction with young people made it evident to her that there is a great need for guidance and education to counteract the cultural message of death constantly being thrust on the youth today.
About 17 years ago, Kerri started counseling at the Pregnancy Counseling Center in Mission Hills, California. With her teaching experience, speaking on issues concerning the Sanctity of Life became a natural outgrowth to spread a preventative message of help, hope, and truth.
This 17 year journey has taken Kerri around the United States and the Globe, speaking at World Youth Day in Cologne, Germany in 2005, the Atlanta Eucharistic Congress, Chicago Pro-Life Conference, St. Louis Pro-Life Conference, Abbeyfest, New Orleans, Michigan Right to Life, Right to Life of Southern California, and other memorable venues. She also had the privilege of appearing twice on “Life on the Rock” one of EWTN’s (The Eternal Word Television Network) programs to discuss crisis pregnancy counseling and adoption. Kerri is married and has three children. In her own words, “What a gift it has been to speak to people of all ages but especially teenagers who are the hope of our future.”
