Friends in Faith: Molly Kiko

Molly Eschelbach Kiko is great at saying yes to God… and following with a smile where He leads.

Molly, who suffers from a degenerative eye disease that eventually will lead to the loss of nearly all her sight, said yes to Mileigh, her guide dog and friend who helps her navigate confidently everywhere outside her home, including when she cantors at Mass.

Molly said yes to another friend when he asked her to marry him… and move to Arlington, VA, hundreds of miles from her family in Michigan. A lifelong Lutheran with a master’s in theological studies, she said yes to converting to Catholicism a few years ago.

To many of us, Molly’s life is fraught with challenges. To Molly, it’s all about following fearlessly.
