Ken and Mary Ann Duppong on Family Life and Daughter Michelle

In 2015, Michelle Duppong, a humble North Dakota native died of cancer at the age of 31. She spent those brief 31 years serving God to the very best of her ability, and you may have heard of her because in 2022, the U.S. Bishops affirmed the advancement of the cause of beatification and canonization of Michelle Duppong. Michelle spent her life as a selfless missionary from a very young age, and from the testimony of those who knew her, it’s no wonder she is on her way to sainthood.

The National Eucharistic Congress gladly welcomed her parents Ken and Mary Ann Duppong onto the main stage during the Revival Session 2 on Thursday, July 18th. Emcee Montse Alvarado sat down with them for a chat about Michelle, their love story, and family life. Watch the whole conversation below:
