Welcome to our Journey

Lizz and I have created this space as a way to share our Catholic journeys—both personal and shared—as we walk in faith and grow and grow in God’s mercy. As we embark on this new adventure, we felt called to begin by reflecting on our recent pilgrimage experiences during this Jubilee Year.

This July, we traveled on a pilgrimage that deeply moved us. Through this blog, we hope to recount those sacred moments, offering glimpses into the awe-inspiring places we visited and the spiritual blessings we received along the way. These posts will serve not only as a record of our journey, but also as a companion to the book we are writing about the experience.

Our pilgrimage reflections will be interwoven with other posts—snapshots of our ongoing lives as Catholic women, friends, mothers, and wives. We invite you to walk with us, to reflect with us, and perhaps to find in our stories something that resonates in your own faith journey.
