When I started university, I really wanted to find a Catholic community, which was what first drew me to Catholic Christian Outreach.

I don’t have to earn His love. I get to live from it. And the more I receive His love, the more I can love others, not with my own strength, but with His.

I was raised Catholic. REALLY Catholic. As a miracle baby, I grew up hearing how blessed I was to have God at work in my life before I was even born.

For most of my life, I believed I had to prove that I was enough. I chased success, approval, and anything that might fill the emptiness inside me.

I grew up Catholic in Zimbabwe, where I spent the first 24 years of my life. My parents would always remind us, “Remember who you belong to.” I knew they meant Jesus, but for a long time, I was mostly coasting in my faith.
