Thanks for getting us started Patrick.
I’m headed to Ann Arbor from Australia. The Lord is full of wonderful surprises and keeps me on my toes! I also grew up in a Catholic family, took a bit of a detour in my late teens but the Lord drew me back into himself soon after. I am married to a wonderful husband who nudged me along the path to consider this course. We have 2 adult sons who completely inspire me with their faith. I am a catechist and formation leader with Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, do a bit of classroom teaching of young children and also work for Aid to the Church in Need. I am in awe at the way the Lord works in people’s lives, (including little people). Some saints that have captured me of late are St John the Baptist, St Elizabeth (his Mum), St John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila and St Edith Stein. St Camillus de Lellis has a cool sounding name and a story to match, so he is always a fun one to throw into the mix. I enjoy hanging out in the outdoors and am excited to find out more about the plants and animals (and people) that live in the Ann Arbor area when I get a chance to have a peak outside on our breaks. Anyone up for a lunch time walk?
