Pragmatic. Positive. Passionate. Those are the words that come to mind when I think of Pam Spano, who owns Being Catholic… Really. You’ll find her in a number of places online, including Facebook, and Twitter.
When Pam, who converted to Catholicism more than thirty years ago, and her husband weren’t being fed at their parish, they didn’t sit and whine and complain or stop going to Mass. Instead, they sought out the right fit… and found it at St. Therese Catholic Mission in Chicago’s Chinatown area.
When the St. Therese choir (in which Pam and her husband are both active) took a summer break, Pam took advantage of the opportunity to begin a blog series about their visits to other parishes in the area. It’s been a great tour, especially for Chicago ex-pats like me.
It’s not dissatisfaction that drives Pam’s explorations… it’s a sincere desire to dive even further into her relationship with Jesus by exposing herself to new opportunities. She inspires me to do the same (including a possible northern Virginia parish tour next year!). Who reflects Christ to you?
Thanks, Pam! Have a blessed day!
