2026 FEATURED SPEAKERS
Levi Hart, CEO of Reach Reproductive Health
Levi serves as CEO and co-founder of Reach Reproductive Health. His story is one of redemption: after the abortion of his first child, and a season of incarceration and addiction, he found radical transformation through Jesus Christ, going on to serve in youth ministry and pastor a church in his former neighborhood. As CEO, he leads with vision, compassion, and a commitment to empowering both parents and children, seeing babies saved and families follow Jesus.
Kiranmai, graduate of Reach’s parenting program
Kiranmai is a wife and mother who shares her personal journey of overcoming fear and uncertainty during pregnancy through the support of her local pregnancy resource center. With honesty, warmth, and gratitude, she speaks about the power of community, the importance of equipping both mothers and fathers for parenthood, and the lasting impact of compassionate support. Today, as she and her husband Morgan celebrate their child’s first year of life, Kiranmai encourages families to embrace hope, pursue their dreams, and remember that no one has to navigate parenthood alone.
Fr. Charlie Archer, chaplain of Salt+Light
Fr. Charlie Archer is born and raised in St. Louis. Like the hobbits in the Lord of the Rings, he has a great love both for food and for things that grow. In his free time, you will likely find him out at his brother’s homestead chopping wood, riding a tractor, or starting fires with his young nephews.
He has a love for reading, especially the English Catholic intellectual tradition in the vein of St. JH Newman, GK Chesterton, and JRR Tolkien. Other loves include frisbee golf, preaching, the inner healing prayer of Dr. Bob Schuchts, and of course the Eucharist above all!
He has been leading Salt+Light since September of 2023, serves at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis, and is beginning further studies in the art of preaching. Fr. Archer will share the closing keynote address.
