Before finding Saint Miriam, Pat attended many Protestant churches and was even baptized a Roman Catholic, but did not feel that this was where she was called to be. She continued to search and the first Mass she attended at Saint Miriam, she knew this was home and that she would be able to fulfill her calling.
