.In this episode of our Journeys of Faith series, Christa and Loraine share how their lives have been deeply shaped by their parish community, service, and ministry. From joining a small couples group to raising their family at St. Clement, their journey highlights the power of faith lived out in community.

They reflect on how outreach and service not only grow the Kingdom of God but also build empathy, deepen friendships, and connect us across generations. Whether it’s volunteering on Service Day, preparing meals for those in need, visiting the homebound as Eucharistic ministers, or simply showing up to serve alongside family and friends, Christa and Loraine remind us that living our faith is always about encountering Christ in others.

This conversation invites all of us to consider how our parish communities help us grow in faith and how we can carry that spirit into every stage of life.
