Team Biographies
Founder & CEO
Sean Murray
Married and the father of three children, Sean was born and raised in the glens of Antrim Ireland,
Sean, along with Kathy Kachel, created this website to help like-minded Catholics to connect and network.
"Iron sharpens iron, we can help each other become the saints we are called to be".
After seeing how much the faith had been decimated in Ireland and the world at large, Sean felt something needed to be done.
"I wanted to create a home for Catholics who love their faith. Somewhere they can converse and engage in dialogue with one another on forums, or private chat. A place where they can promote and advertise their rosary and prolife, rallies, marches, and other events".
As well as being co -creator and founder, Sean also posts blogs and creates content for the website.
Founder & CEO
Kathleen Kachel
By the grace of God I am here. I hail from the beautiful Southern California, USA. I am an artist, a mother of 7 (plus I was blessed to raise several more), a conservative Catholic though I took the scenic route, and a survivor. No, a Warrior!
I am ever ready to do battle with whatever evil presents itself, for God, for Christ, for Mary, for my friends and family and for the sake of being here. All by the Grace of God. I am blessed beyond imagination.
I am grateful to those who have been on this journey with me no matter what their role was, I am thankful that I have come out the other side. I revel in the beauty of this world and hope that I can contribute to that, but now I'm focused on becoming the saint I am called to be and I want to bring as many along with me as possible.
God bless each of you as I offer up my prayers 🙏 for those who are most in need, those who have gone before us and all soul's in purgatory.
