• “I just love teaching. I love watching people discover the faith.” — Kate Boyce (shown here with her husband, David, and their daughter)

      “I went on a study-abroad trip to Germany that was called the Catholic Worldview Fellowship,” she said. “It was just about Catholicism and leadership, and I feel like that was a huge part of me coming to see the saints not just as holy but as real leaders in their day and real influencers of culture in their day.”

      Adventure took her to experiencing Big Bear Lake, California, as a holy space for a summer leading and influencing young people as a Life Teen missionary. Soon after, Kate was accepted into Notre Dame University’s Echo Graduate Service Program to pursue a master’s in theology.

      And that led her to Sheboygan as an apprentice with the Sheboygan North Catholic Parishes, where she eventually became a staff member.

      “I love seeing people read Scripture for the first time and discover new things about the Lord and what he says. Kids are so funny about it. Then it’s just beautiful to see adults who can have more mature conversations ask questions that they’ve never asked before about the Lord.”

      God’s adventure sometimes brings twists in the road that lead to incredibly blessed journeys.

      Kate is one of many Inspiring Young Catholics in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Do you know one? Let us know in the comments.
