Losing their lively, lovable three-year-old son 20 years ago to an unexpected illness changed everything for Christi and Mark Tripodi. Their grief seemed overwhelming and endless, particularly during the holiday season. Struggling to keep going, the Tripodis sought counseling. They found that people with limited means had few resources to help them work through the heavy burden that grief brings. Driven by their experience and to honor their little boy, the Tripodis launched the non-profit organization Cornerstone of Hope in 2003. Since then, Cornerstone has served more than 50,000 grieving children, teens, adults, and families. Mark and Christi have been attending AFC events for 25 years, ever since they attended their first, transformative Totus Tuus Conference in 2001.

She was the founding coordinator of the St. John Paul II Resource Center for Theology of the Body and Culture from 2005-2020. Katrina is privileged to pursue a full life that includes hiking, swimming, traveling, and spending time with her married son Michael, his lovely wife Morgan, and her grandchildren.
