Preaching for the Baptism of the Lord, Andrea Hattler Bramson offers a reflection on staying true to our vocation despite the "curve balls" that life will inevitably throw our way: "As you ponder your life, tasks, and responsibilities, let yourself doubt, like John the Baptist be confident that God accompanies us with love and mercy, and then let yourself stay TRUE to your vocation – whatever it is."  



Andrea has been the president of the Loyola Foundation for over 10 years, and has been a trustee for over 30. She has served on the boards of SOAR!, FADICA, NCEA, and was the president of the pastoral council of her parish in Reston, Virginia. Andrea is the mother of three and now lives in Bluffton, South Carolina with Brian, her husband of over 25 years, her daughter Victoria, and the two dogs that show anyone unconditional love.
