YOU'RE INVITED
Road to Purity requests the honor of your company at our 2nd Annual Gala
Join us for an evening dedicated to launching "Restoring the Family"—our campaign to develop the Road to Purity Family Program in response to Sr. Lúcia's prophetic words: "The final battle between the Lord and the kingdom of Satan will be about marriage and the family."
This transformative initiative will equip Catholic families to stand firm in this decisive spiritual battle, healing generational wounds and forming children in secure Catholic identity. Be part of this crucial movement to restore the family as the domestic church and sanctuary of faith, where parents and children together participate in Heaven's triumph over the forces that oppose the sanctity of marriage and family life.
KEYNOTE
Nick (Triple Kick) Smitley
Certified Addiction Counselor, Speaker, Author, Recovering Sex Addict, and Founder of Road to Purity
As the Founder of Road to Purity, Dann has dedicated his life to combating the pervasive issues of pornography and sexual sin. He has authored several influential books, including; From One Addict to Another, 40 Days to Freedom, and Winning the Battle for Sexual Purity, which have become essential resources for those seeking recovery and spiritual guidance.
Through Road to Purity, Dann has developed Restoring God's Foundation the most effective and comprehensive sex addiction recovery program of its kind. His commitment to spreading awareness and providing a secure, discreet step-by-step structure for recovery has made a significant impact, with more than 900 parishes across the nation utilizing Road to Purity’s resources and services.
Dann's influence extends to the formation of seminarians, equipping future priests with the knowledge and tools to address sexual sin within their communities. His tireless efforts in empowering authoritative figures, such as priests, have fostered a supportive network capable of tackling this critical issue effectively.
Nick (Triple Kick) Smitley
Catholic husband, father, drummer, producer, and founder of Vermillion Code Productions.
Before his dramatic return to the faith, Nick built a name for himself inside the Hollywood entertainment scene—working as a socialite and event producer connected to the Playboy Mansion, celebrity culture, and the music industry. His career placed him at the center of porn culture, drug-fueled events, and the relentless pursuit of fame.
Yet even while chasing success, Nick never fully walked away from his Catholic roots. A powerful moment of conviction in 2011 awakened him to the eternal consequences of the life he was building. What followed was not an overnight change, but a hard-fought transformation—one that required rebuilding his marriage, reclaiming his role as a father, and surrendering his ambition to Christ.
Today, Nick leads a faith-driven production company, works alongside Catholic ministries, and is committed to evangelizing through culture rather than retreating from it. His story is a raw and compelling witness to this truth: when the head of the household returns to God, marriages strengthen, families heal, and generational legacies are rewritten.

Restoring the Family
For almost a decade Road to Purity has fought the scourge of sexual sin and addiction. Through this work we have learned that the true battleground is the home—when families lose their identity in God, wounds and addictions take root. Our first Restoring the Family workshop proved this: teaching on healing, spiritual warfare and Catholic sexuality gave parents practical tools to build faith‑filled homes, and the testimonies of those who attended showed how desperately families are seeking hope.
Now, inspired by Our Lady’s prophecy to Sr. Lucia of Fatima that the final battle will be about marriage and the family, we’re inviting you to join us for an evening unlike any other. On Saturday, May 2 2026, the Road to Purity Gala will bring together supporters, parents and champions of purity for a celebration of what God has done and a rallying cry for what’s ahead. You’ll hear inspiring stories of healing, be called to “put on the armor of God”, and be among the first to learn about something special we’re crafting just for families—details we can’t reveal yet, but that will transform the way parents protect and form their children.
Join us in person or via our special livestream. Stand with us as we embrace the spiritual battle for our homes and prepare to unveil a surprise that will equip families to thrive. Mark your calendar for May 2 2026 and be part of the movement to restore the family.
