Anastassia Tess Cassady

“Cassady, who is a Byzantine Catholic and is trained to write icons, likes to connect with God through activity, such as walking while praying the Rosary. She finds creating art to be a prayerful endeavor, and she enjoys the element-of-surprise inspiration from the Holy Spirit that infuses her work.” 

Taken from Today’s Catholic Article

Meg Hunter-Kilmer is an itinerant missionary and storyteller who travels the world telling people about the fierce and tender love of God. She holds two degrees in theology from the University of Notre Dame, is a Fellow of the Sullivan Family Saints Initiative in the McGrath Institute for Church Life, and has written one book about Scripture (A Year In The Word Catholic Bible Journal) and two books about the Saints (Saints Around the World—an international Saint storybook for children—and Pray for Us: 75 Saints who Sinned, Suffered, and Struggled on Their Way to Holiness). When she’s not obsessively googling obscure Saints, trying to convince people to read Scripture, or driving appalling distances while listening to audiobooks on double speed, she loves watching the Olympics and spending time with her nieces, nephews, and godchildren.

He lived in France for two years while discerning in religious life where he studied Philosophy and Theology and served at a Catholic mission for young men recovering from alcohol and drug addictions. John loves sports, especially golf and basketball, and he enjoys spending time with his friends here in South Bend and with family back in Birmingham, Alabama where he is originally from.
