I was raised in a pretty traditional, happy Irish Catholic home. Although I attended Catholic school for 12 years it wasn’t until I took a theology class in college, which required my studying faiths drastically different from my own, that I started to question my own traditions and religious beliefs. Although I continue to feel out other denominations, I find my Catholic roots a faithful guide. Bible study has been a wonderful outlet in finding answers to my questions and getting affirmation of my faith through the conversations I have with these lovely ladies. My husband and I have been married 21 years and have 3 teenage boys who keep us on the go. My favorite verse is Jeremiah 29:11, “for I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
