#ThisNunsStory Pt 1. I’m a cradle Catholic & grew up in a lively parish in NW England where I played guitar at Mass from age 7 & attended Catholic schools. My Dad was a Eucharistic Minister & I sometimes went with him to visit the sick. But I never thought about becoming a nun.
As a normal teenager my life was dominated by @takethat (including queuing for 4 hrs in the rain to meet them!), #Britpop, @LFC & @WarringtonRLFC. I still went to weekly Mass but in all honesty prayer & going to church was not top of my agenda during my early-mid teens.
There were no religious communities in my local area & I didn’t have any contact with nuns during childhood. In my late teens I went on a few youth retreats run by the Sacred Heart Fathers & began to develop a personal relationship with Jesus. My faith became my own.
