Our Faith

My boys with one of our close priest friends
I  love my Catholic faith! Jesus Christ is the center of my life and the lives of my boys. We worship Jesus at Mass where we believe that He is present Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Holy Eucharist. My boys and daughter-in-law are PRACTICING Catholics. Meaning: we believe what the Catholic Church teaches and practice it to the best of our ability in our daily lives. I never used birth control in the 24 years of my marriage.

Until the Obama Administration issued the HHS mandate, not using birth control wasn't something we talked about in public.  He brought the fight to us, and Catholics weren't afraid to fight in the public square.

 I am a cooperator in Opus Dei and I believe, like the founder, that we are all called to holiness no matter our station in life. St. Josemaria is my favorite saint Opus Dei is a Catholic institution founded by Saint Josemaría Escrivá. Its mission is to spread the message that work and the circumstances of everyday life are occasions for growing closer to God, for serving others, and for improving society. My boys and I love to learn about the saints who came before us and lived up to their Christian call to holiness. Our Catholic faith is full of wonderful saints and examples of Christian holiness and living the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Matthew talking to Bishop Jugis after Mass

As Catholics, we promote and defend the sanctity of all human life. The Catholic Church has always been pro-life and has always promoted and defended the sanctity of all human life at every stage from conception until natural death.  I try to attend the March for Life in DC every year. It is an amazing journey each and every time I go!
