is committed to her faith, actively participating in her church communities and served as an Extraordinary Minister at St. Jude Parish. While her consecration to the Militia of the Immaculata, founded by St. Maximilian Kolbe, marked a significant milestone in her spiritual journey, it was her pilgrimage to these sites which deepened her understanding of Mary’s messages of hope and guidance. One of her favorite messages from Our Blessed Virgin Mary is, “I cannot promise you happiness in this life; only in the next.”
