Hi, I'm Kelly, the new girl. I am 22 years old and the fourth of five children in a cradle Catholic family. I have played soccer since I was four, and I love to sing and make people laugh. For as long as I can remember, I have had the habit of twirling my hair and an irrational fear of needles. I laugh loudly and often, my favorite color is pink, my favorite food is sushi, and my pet peeves include morning radio and losing things.
I transferred to Franciscan University of Steubenville as a junior catechetics major and, in my two years there, I sang in music ministry, was a cast member of Pun Intended (an improvisational comedy team), and active in the household Carae Domini. I played varsity soccer my junior year, became captain my senior year, and served as the assistant women’s coach during my final semester at the University.
I founded Puritas Ministries when I was 18 years old as a response to my friends’ need and desire for an understanding of the virtue of chastity. Since then, with the help of amazing volunteers, I have developed and expanded the mission of the program to serve young women more holistically. The program continues to emphasize chastity with a wider focus on understanding how to be women of faith as God created each of us to be.
Spreading the message of the freedom found in chastity is one of my favorite activities, so of course I am super pumped to jump in the classrooms and talk to students in the Cinci area. Working with this beautiful organization (plus the wonderful staff, board, and volunteers) is a sincere privilege, as serving women is a deep desire of my heart. I am so pleased to be joining Pregnancy Center East as a chastity educator and I look forward to all that lies ahead. May God bless those who read this blog.

Dominican Sisters on Oprah
Having a snow day? The Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist will be on Oprah!The show will air in the Cincinnati area at 4 p.m. on Channel 9. How awesome is it that these young women will be witnesses to the joy of giving oneself totally to Christ to such a large audience?
A couple of interesting facts about these sisters: 1) the average age of entering postulants is 21; 2) today is coincidentally the 13th anniversary of their founding.

The Beauty of Celibacy
Have you ever thought that priests and those in religious life must be crazy for choosing such a lifestyle? Who would ever choose to live without sex? Much of this reaction stems from the influence of our sex satuated culture; a culture obessed with sex. Because of it's obession, our culture has lost sight of the truth and meaning of sex. Believe or not, priest and religious are not all that crazy. Did you know that the Christian meaning of sex and marriage cannot be properly understood unless we understand the Christian meaning of celibacy? Check out the deep truth and meaning behind the celibant life by clicking here and you may just find yourself attracted to it.

Wow!
Channel 9 just ran this news segment about the rise of religious vocations in Cincinnati. My jaw was open the whole time as I saw great interviews with a seminarian, Fr. Kyle Schnippel (vocations director) and two high school students at Elder. Excellent job to Channel 9 and to all those interviewed!
