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.

Like a lot of cradle Catholics, going to Mass every Sunday was just part of my life. I went to Sunday school, Catholic retreats, and by God’s grace, I never really walked away from the faith, but for a long time, I didn’t have a personal relationship with Jesus. 

Looking back, every step has come from the same place: meeting the Father with complete trust. And every time, He has done something bigger than I could have imagined.
