Anna grew up in a Catholic military family (ask her sometime about the 11 places she has lived during her life) and learned at an early age the beautiful consistency of the Catholic faith.
“I loved the faith but didn't know that Jesus wanted to have a personal relationship with me. I had an incredible encounter with the love of Jesus in high school which led me to getting a degree in Theology and Catechetics at Franciscan University. Ever since, the Lord has been calling me “further up and further in” and showing me how deeply He loves me through Truth, Beauty, and Goodness.”
