Hey everyone, it’s AJ. I grew up always being the life of the party. I loved sports, and I’ve always been an extrovert.

Everything changed when I met a girl whose peace and joy seemed to indicate that she had found what I was searching for all those years. I asked if we could talk, and long story short I experienced the love of Christ in a real, tangible authentic way through that friendship.

Hi, my name is Grace Foy, I’m 21 years old and I’m from Donegal, Ireland. I’ve just finished three years of mission with NET Canada.

But the deeper I studied, the more I fell in love with the Church Christ Himself established. And on Easter of 2025, I said “yes” again—this time to His Church—and was confirmed Catholic.

From my childhood, I was Southern Baptist, where I was very involved starting in my teenage years. I was involved in youth group activities, bible studies, and even played guitar in the youth group band. I was never really anti-Catholic, but I knew why we were Protestant.

I joined the Jesuits after undergrad in 2015. Through missionary activity, community life, and intense studies, the Jesuits have taught me how to grow in the joy and love of the Gospel. I am very much looking forward to ministering at a Parish and a Jesuit High School in Winnipeg this Fall.

My journey has been one of restoration; learning to see myself as God’s beloved daughter and encouraging others to do the same. Every step, from my struggles to my successes, has drawn me closer to Him.

My name is Fr. Sebastian, and I was ordained a priest with the Companions of the Cross this past May 24th. Although I grew up Catholic I had a deeper conversion to my faith through Catholic Christian Outreach.

When I was 17, I signed a record deal in Nashville and began living my childhood dream.

If you’re searching, wandering, or waiting — I encourage you, He’s already near. And four simple words are life’s answer…Thy Will Be Done.

He healed us and not only made our family whole, but also completely renewed. He gave us all and more than what we asked for, and it was that trustful surrender, perseverance, and hope in Him that saved our family. 

So say “yes” to God. Even if your voice trembles. Even if all you can offer is your broken heart. That’s more than enough.

“Michael, you are my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.” Hearing those words and being struck with this love, a love that I had been craving and looking for my whole life, I could not help but decide on a relationship with God, inviting Him to be the center of my life.

I’m Mary Lenaburg—Catholic author, speaker, wife of 37 years, mama to two (one here, one in heaven), and living proof that God can redeem absolutely anything.

Sometimes the most powerful yeses are the quiet ones—the ones that change you from the inside out.

I’ve never felt this amount of liberation and peace and love from Jesus ever before in my life. I could not believe it.

Aside from being the head of my domestic church, I feel that God has called me to serve Him by bringing light to this - that you can be a provider and still uphold “tradition” and our Catholic faith even if you’re a SAHD.

Now I have a new obsession: helping people find their own ”Practical Sainthood” and becoming who God made them to be.
