Hi! I’m Katie. My journey with Lily of the Valley Ministry began through a special statue of the pregnant Virgin Mary. This statue had been a source of comfort during my own pregnancies. When I heard of Whitney walking with her son who had a difficult prenatal diagnosis, I felt called to pass the statue on to her. Several years later we reconnected and I learned the statue has been with LOTV since its inception and continues to be a symbol of hope and grace watching over this ministry, which now touches hundreds of families, all under Mary’s mantle. I gradually became more involved as a prayer ambassador and now as Content Designer.
As Content Designer, I get to use my love of art history, photography, flowers, visual design, and religious research to share the ministry’s mission with others, allowing God to strengthen my own faith through this work. We have especially found that social media is a great way to reach others walking through difficult early life challenges. I enjoy using my talents in this way, furthering the mission of Lily of the Valley, online. I also have been a part of planning prayer events, where I can use my skills to bring others closer to Christ.
“May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be…” – Prayer of St. Therese of Lisieux
