Hi All, I've been lurking and reading here for many years. Lurking sounds so creepy. Anyway, I'm a convert. I came into the faith in 2017. Husband is a cradle Catholic. I feel like I'm amongst family here. Cheri from WV
Yes, welcome, we hope to hear more from you. There is some sort of Catholic connection to West Virginia that I hope I can remember if I devote some time to it. I know percentagewise, it is probably not a heavily Catholic state, But I do know it has the Basilica of the co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, a very beautiful Church. https://sacredheartcocathedral.com/
I'm glad your lurking here, Cheri, only encouraged you to come on board! God bless you and everyone on this Feast of the Presentation!
You know who is from West Virginia? Now I remember, Kristan Hawkins, though, the organization she heads is headquartered in Virginia, Fairfax I believe as most of these organizations. The abortion industry is a Goliath, these pro-life organizations are great but some of them, they rack in a very healthy amount of money. (And I personally don't care for how they are endlessly asking for money but what are you going to do? I even talked about it with some students in the organization). She is inspirational, I really do love her and helped out the organization locally. She's really on a pro-life crusade. Kristan is a Summa Cum Laude graduate of Bethany College in West Virginia. She resides in Martinsburg, West Virginia with her husband, Jonathan and 2 sons, Gunner and Bear. Kristan Hawkins - Conservapedia So, keeping it short, a lot on her and her videos can be found. Though, the organization is big, she's one of the most prominent faces of the whole pro-life movement.
Thank you Beth. I love that song too. It's funny because when we visited Australia in 2015 a group of young men sang that too us.
