Meet Catherine

Catherine Desmond is the newest member of the team, although she's not a member of St.Paul Parish. She's a Catholic Worker at Casa Maria in Milwaukee and met Nancy Reinbold as she takes one of the staff shopping every month for their homeless guests. (Thanks for the grant from the St. Paul people) She's a retired RN and psychotherapist.

She and her family lived in Aguascalientes, Mexico for three years, some years ago, setting up a culture center through the LaCrosse diocese, and she's always glad to return to a Spanish-speaking country. She has four awesome grown sons, one is a priest, and five delightful grandchildren. 

She's so looking forward to this trip to Peru.
