Faith-full Friendships

As Morgan settled into the pew for the noon Ash Wednesday prayer service, her elementary friend Katie leaned over and said, "How cool is this that we're here with our babies!"

Friends since their Kindergarten years at Incarnation Catholic School, Morgan and Katie have walked life together through school, work, marriage and family. A common theme for their friendship during every stage of life has been their Catholic faith.

"We are so blessed to have been able to meet and grow up together. It has been an amazing gift to be able to strengthen our faith together, and now raise our babies in the same place and with the same faith that has shaped us!" Katie shared.

"We are constantly leaning on each other as best friends, but also encouraging one another in growing our faith together," Morgan added.

The two friends are clearly set on their mission of never-ending growth in their faith, as they began the OLL Young Adults group together. Upon returning home from college, they both planted roots in the Centerville area. They and their now husbands became parishioners and were married at Incarnation Church and felt pulled to develop the group so that any young adults in the family had a place to come together and share in our Catholic faith. Since forming, they have expanded from one monthly event to two, holding a Bible study for the upcoming weekend's readings.

"It's just so special to have grown up in this church and now raise our families in that same church together," Katie said. Morgan agreed, adding that it has been so fun becoming moms together and being able to share their experiences with each other. Next step: baptizing their children together later this month! You and your families are in our prayers, Katie and Morgan!
