Real Life Catholic’s Chris Stefanick Announced as Wyoming Catholic’s 2025 Commencement Speaker

Chris Stefanick, an internationally acclaimed author, speaker, and television host, will deliver the Commencement Address at this year’s Commencement Ceremony, which will be held on Monday, May 19th.

“Chris has been a clear and compelling voice on behalf of Catholic evangelization for many years,” said President Kyle Washut, “and we are pleased to welcome him to Lander this spring. I am grateful that he has agreed to join us for our Commencement festivities, and I look forward to the wisdom and advice he will offer to our graduates as they complete their time with us here at Wyoming Catholic College. The ability to discern, to speak the truth, and to evangelize on behalf of their faith will be a vital part of their lives after graduation. And who is better suited to send them on their way than Chris?”

A resident of Denver, Colorado, Stefanick has devoted his life to sharing the love of Jesus and helping others do the same. His live seminars, TV, radio, and video ministry have reached millions, he has authored a confirmation prep program that’s been used by over a million people, and he has recently released a bestseller, Living Joy: 9 Rules to Help You Rediscover and Live Joy Every Day.

A graduate of the Franciscan University of Steubenville, Chris began his career as a highly-regarded youth and young adult minister working at the parish level before assuming larger responsibilities at the diocesan level. He has provided outstanding counsel for many years to various bishops throughout the country, and to several committees of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. He is a recipient of the Papal Benemerenti Medal, which is given for achievement in ministry, and is also the founder and president of Real Life Catholic, a non-profit organization that makes his initiatives for renewal a reality. Above all, he is proud to be husband to Natalie and father to their six children, and a grandfather of four.
