About the Speakers

Mark and Christi Tripodi are the Founders of Cornerstone of Hope, a Center for Grieving Children, Teens, and Adults in Cleveland, Ohio. The death of their 3-year-old son, Bobby, was the catalyst for their deep reversion back to the Catholic Church. The Tripodis felt God’s call to provide a “place” where those grieving could go for comprehensive support. Cornerstone of Hope has served more than 55,000 individuals and professionals seeking support, education and hope in their 21 years of ministry. They have been featured on EWTN’s Life on the Rock and Women of Grace, and Animal Planet’s Treehouse Masters. Yet, the most rewarding and humbling job is being parents to their nine children. “We are a family just like any other family, FAR FROM PERFECT, but our family is centered on Christ due to the loss of our son who helped us to prioritize our faith. The Catholic Church has been our rock in our family’s grief journey, and even more so in our marriage and parental journey!”
