By the grace of God, Kathleen shares her life with her husband Craig, the four children they were given to raise, and the two children raising them all from heaven. Under the mentorship of an amazing pastor, Kathleen served her parish as a DRE and then Youth Minister before her family demands signaled a change in calling. As a homeschooling mother, she taught numerous co-op classes, co-authored the Catholic Classical Enrichment program, and created two videotaped, middle school history series available through TAN Academy. Kathleen has spoken to women’s groups about Sacred Scripture and various papal encyclicals, regularly leading bible studies and book studies annually. Fascinated by the history and wisdom of the Temperaments, she has shared the fruits of her study through semester-long courses for Mary’s Women of Joy as well as day-long retreats for parish staff and Catholic high school faculty. For the last three years, Kathleen has co-hosted the Catholic radio show Joyful Echo with her dear friend Jean Whelan. These and any future opportunities for service to God and His Church continue to bear witness to how much Our merciful Lord can do with the little we give!
