Harrisburg Diocesan Council of Catholic Women
Harrisburg Diocesan Council of Catholic Women
KEYNOTE: Kelly Wahlquist
Kelly Wahlquist is a dynamic and inspiring Catholic author and speaker whose gift of weaving personal stories and Scripture together with practical advice allows her audience to enter more fully into what Pope Francis has called us to do—to live the joy of the Gospel with missionary zeal.
​
Kelly travels the country speaking on the New Evangelization in an effort to encourage all to spread the message of Jesus by living the joy of the Gospel, and leads women’s pilgrimages (WINE & Shrine) through Italy. She enjoys speaking to all groups, but has a special affinity towards speaking at Catholic women’s conferences and retreats. She resides in Minnesota with her husband, Andy, and their three children.
