    Apr 29 2025

    Fr. Nathan introduces us to his prayer partner, Anna Babin. Anna and Fr. Nathan met when he was a senior in high school at a retreat that Anna and her husband, SJ, facilitated at the Catholic Student Center. As life goes on, trials come and go, and Anna shares what inspires her to always find joy.

    Anna is a native Texan who holds a degree in business administration from Lamar University and maintains her CPA credential; however, her true calling lies in supporting missions that assist the most vulnerable in her community as CEO of Catholic Charities and United Way.
