Jennifer No, a loving wife and mother, shares with us how the Lord prepared her to say “yes” to be the Mission Youth and Family Director in Washington, D.C. alongside her husband. The beauty of her call lies behind how the Lord shaped her path: from a loving, nurturing Catholic family, to meeting Jesus more deeply in her adulthood through Spiritual Exercises, to launching the Walking with Purpose program in her parish, to being approached to consider the director role for Mission Youth. It is very clear how the Holy Spirit prepares us, one step at a time, for this moment we are called to!

As the RC Convention Communique 2024, n. 19 says, “An epochal change like the one we are experiencing requires a courageous and radical missionary choice. Small changes in our traditional pastoral work will be insufficient, and the mere implementation of means, plans, manuals, and programs will not be enough either. These all lead us to places we are already familiar with; to paraphrase St. John of the Cross, in order to arrive at where we do not yet know, we should walk where we do not know.”

Thank you, Jennifer, for sharing with us your courageous and radical missionary choice to go out to the homeless, door-to-door, March for Life, etc. in the heart of our country, and for forming the next generation of missionary apostles!
