In this excerpt from the Catholic Kiwi Podcast, Sr Lauren of the Cross shares how the What Catholics Believe booklets played a part in her journey back to faith — and eventually to life as a Carmelite Sister in Christchurch.

Once, she says, she might have seemed “a most unlikely candidate” for religious life. But as she looks back, she sees how every step — even working at the Christchurch Casino — became part of God’s preparation for her vocation.

We’re so grateful to see how a simple CEC resource could help someone encounter Jesus and rediscover their faith.
