Welcome

It was a great privilege in 1995 to found, with my late husband Ralph, Good News Ministries of GNM.org. In 1999 I began writing the popular Good News Reflections on the readings of Mass. After retiring in 2025, I focused on authoring books, and hosting the podcast show Footsteps to Heaven.

Helping Catholics grow strong in their faith has been my main passion. I also love dogs, boating and photography. And I enjoy getting goofy now and then, as you see in the photo above. That get-up was for a Ladies Tea that my parish had.

I converted to Catholicism in 1977, drawn by the Eucharist after losing faith in Christ by getting involved in the occult. I studied Church teachings in order to understand the truth. Always involved in whatever parish I belonged to, I gained a reputation for inspirational teaching and spiritual leadership in Adult Religious Education, prayer groups, Parish Council, Small Christian Community development, RCIA director, and a variety of other parish ministries.

I’ve been a published author since 1982 and I served as a diocesan staff writer for a while. I’ve earned a degree in Theology, and I’ve been certified by two lay ministry institutes.

Vetted by my bishop, Good News Ministries has become international, building the faith of Catholics through several websites, YouTube, and many other cutting-edge technologies.

By the power of the Holy Spirit, I focus on adult faith formation. I want to help people reach a better understanding of God’s love and to apply Biblical principles and Catholic teachings to everyday life.
