Kevin's remarkable story begins in an unlikely place: a filthy dumpster. It was there that he experienced a profound encounter with God that would change his life forever. Amongst the trash, he discovered a discarded statue of the Virgin Mary. This miraculous find set Kevin on a spiritual journey that led him to Fatima, Portugal, where he experienced further divine intervention. His experiences are not just inspiring—they are miraculous.
Over the past decade, Kevin has shared his profound love of God and the Blessed Mother with thousands. His recitals of the Rosary are now heard worldwide, spreading a message of hope and devotion. In July of 2024, Kevin released his second book, “Mary’s Roadie,” co-authored with Matthew Kelly. This follows the success of his first book, which has deeply touched readers, including cancer survivor Charlie Fisher, who has distributed dozens of copies to friends in need of its hopeful message.
Kevin's ability to captivate audiences is undeniable. Once a voice to 10 million weekly radio listeners in Chicago, Kevin is now an inductee into the Radio Hall of Fame. However, his current mission transcends the airwaves; he now consoles the brokenhearted and instills hope in the desolate. His dynamic speaking engagements range from prisons to women’s conferences, where he is lauded for his heartfelt homage to Mary, the Mother of Jesus.
David Liptak from Holy Trinity Parish in Bloomington, IL, captures Kevin’s passion perfectly: “It is truly fascinating to witness Kevin Matthews as he enthusiastically follows in the footsteps of St. Dominic, St. Maximilian Kolbe, and St. Pope John Paul II in his quest to bring Mary and the Rosary to as many people as will listen to him.”
Fr. Marty recalls a memorable parish mission: "This is the only time I have been at a parish mission where the speaker, Kevin Matthews, received a standing ovation at the end of his spiritual presentation. I was personally moved, inspired, and drawn closer to our Blessed Virgin. I highly recommend Kevin to other churches to share his journey with your congregation. Parishioners are still talking about his presentation one week later."
Pam, a Parish Life Coordinator at St. Thomas Parish, echoes this sentiment: "Kevin Matthews' beautiful presentation of brokenness and healing touched our parishioners in a unique way. His love for God and the Blessed Virgin Mary is contagious. We laughed and cried all within the same hour. He encouraged us to have hope despite the difficult times we are living in."
Kevin’s message is clear: "We all are broken, but we are loved by God."
This powerful statement encapsulates his mission as "Mary's Roadie."
