Why I work in Youth Ministry: In high school I had a coversion of heart and was seeking God without knowing who to turn to; my family was not religious; I did not have a church or community and it was years before I found the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. It is clear that the Lord is calling me to witness to families and teens--and to invite them into our Catholic family. 

About Me:  California girl from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. I love the East Coast--but the only downside is that my parents and brother and his family reside in Southern, CA. I'm an aunt to 3 girls and 1 boy--per my request, they call me "Tia Katherine"!
