Cooper Ray
Cooper Ray is a dynamic & light-hearted speaker and musician who shares his faith with honesty and passion. Through story, humor, and audience participation, Cooper leads groups of all ages to a greater awareness of who they are as Catholic Christians and how God fits into their daily lives.
Cooper has entertained, motivated, and inspired youth and adults at World Youth Day (Germany), Proud 2B Catholic Music Festival, Catholic Heart Workcamp, as well as at numerous diocesan, parish, and school events across the country. His relevant message and crowd interaction can reach a teen all the way in the back row.
He has been involved in Youth Ministry for over 10 years, serving most of that time as the Director of Youth Ministry for the Diocese of Baton Rouge. In November, Cooper took a leap of faith and decided to take his gifts and love for the Catholic faith on the road full-time. From programming camp activities and leading music in Liturgy to directing and planning diocesan events, Cooper possesses a unique perspective on ministry to young people.
Cooper lives in Baton Rouge, Louisiana with his wife Laura.
