Role in the Community:
Treasurer

Member Since:
Founding Member, 2006

Short Testimony:
Kneeling down for the family rosary would be my first memory of prayer. This has developed into an understanding of what prayer means to me - a two-way conversation with God during the ups and downs of life. Sometimes we need to listen carefully to hear the voice of God but so often he speaks to me through others at the times that I need to hear Him most. Being a member of the Iosa Community has allowed me to experience prayer in an atmosphere of sharing and support for each other. It is also a community full of fun and laughter - my hope is that I will continue to listen to God and accept His guiding hand in my journey of life.

Favourite Iosa Memory:
Pilgrimage to Lourdes 2009 - particularly eating ice-cream in the Jeanne D'Arc café!
