I am both thrilled and grateful to be included in StAR (Saint Austin Review) magazine! I met Sarah Cortez while i was in Lafayette, Louisiana and then again in Houston. She is a wonderful person who has a strong faith in God. She interviewed me and included the interview in the magazine which is distributed throughout the country.

 

I had a wonderful evening with my husband attending the Courage Under Fire Gala in Nashville. It was an uplifting event filled with faith, positivity and hope for the future. It was also excellent meeting some people in person like Father Mike Schmitz, Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles who are always fighting for the Truth. And also say hello to Harrison Butker and Kirk Cameron.

 

Five Spanish Franciscan missionaries, Father Pedro de Corpa, Father Blas Rodríguez, Father Miguel de Añon, Brother Antonio de Badajóz and Father Francisco de Veráscola were martyred in 1597 in the present-day state of Georgia.

This week Pope Francis approved the cause of five Georgia martyrs, Pedro de Corpa and Companions. The “cause” is a formal effort to recognize and officially declare saints. This process is laborious, and it takes many years, if not many generations. Consequently, this is huge news for Catholics here in the South. We hope to soon have Georgians among the rolls (or canon) of the official saints recognized in Rome and around the world

 

 

It was an honor to complete this painting for the new Bishop of Knoxville Diocese, Bishop Mark Beckman. More details will be shared in the November issue of the Knoxville Catholic newspaper.

I truly love sharing me art and believe that this is the ministry God has giving me. Thank you to everyone who made this possible, Father Michael Cummins and the other priests of whom I don’t know the names.
