What does being Catholic mean to you? I think it's a way of existing that creates the path of most realized joy for the long term...and often the short term in the process.
Why is your Catholic faith important to you? Faith doesn't seem important when you're on top but becomes, at least to me, essential when things go wrong and we're reminded of our human frailty. Faith keeps me grounded, makes me humble, puts things in the proper perspective and allows me to come to terms with what I'm experiencing during the joyous moments when all is right in the world.
What is your favorite part about St. T's 20-Somethings? The founder of this group created something substantial; something organized that unites people. The group has a great blend of formal and informal activities and goes to great lengths to provide both educational/religious and social activities, often at the same time. It's not easy to bring together a large body of like-minded people of similar age but varied background.
