Keynote Speaker
Father Reynaldo Taylor, Archdiocese of Cincinnati
Fr. Taylor was on fire with love of the Lord long before his ordination to the priesthood in 2007.
As an elementary school student, he was accepted into The Third Order of Secular Franciscans. Later he joined The Brothers of the Poor of St Francis, and shared Christ’s love with the poor for more than 30 years. During that time, he was chosen to share his fire for the Lord at Franciscan missions located on 4 different continents. His all-encompassing love now extends to veterans
in his role as Chaplain at the Cincinnati VA Medical Center.
Honorees
This year, we have decided to wait to reveal the honorees until the evening of the dinner.
