Catholic
Profile & Affiliations
Growing up in a devout Catholic household, I was blessed with the opportunity to learn and practice all of the prayers and teachings of the Catholic faith from an early age. Inspired by the real-life stories of many Catholic saints, I presumed the Holy Mother and St. Joseph as my spiritual parents and Infant Jesus as my best friend. I was especially devoted to praying the Holy Rosary daily – a practice that remains close to my heart. This has been instrumental in leading me through life’s tribulations and helping me find comfort in times of suffering.
I was baptized in St. Augustine's Roman Catholic Church, Aroor, Alappuzha, Kerala, India, in September 1984; it marked the start of a life-long journey in which my commitment to the Catholic religion continues to be the center of my life. I remain eternally grateful for all I have learned from being raised in a Catholic family and am thankful for the opportunity to share these teachings with others. My early exposure to Catholicism has made me into the person who I am today – someone who cherishes their faith and strives to live each day with love, hope, and humility.
