Meet our Confirmation Students!
This week: Owen Miesbauer
Owen Miesbauer, 10th grade, 15 years old.  My dad’s name is Craig, my mom is Dana, and my brother is Aiden.  I am in cross-country and wrestling.  My parents are making me get confirmed.  I have not fully found out what my faith means to me, but I hope confirmation will help.

St. Louise de Marillac
God calls us in every stage of life. This week is the feast of Louise de Marillac. As a young girl, she felt called to the religious life. However, she received advice to marry instead. Her husband died 12 years into their marriage. In the wake of her husband’s death, she met St. Vincent de Paul. She was greatly inspired by his work with the poor, and he became her spiritual director. She began a training center out of her own home to train other young woman to serve the poor and sick. This became the Sisters of Charity. The religious order began to grow, as slowly more sisters joined to work in hospitals and orphanages across France. The Sisters of Charity now serve worldwide. When your life takes an unexpected turn, consider where God might be calling you!
