When did you first feel called to Holy Orders?

When I was in middle school, maybe around 7^th or 8^th grade, I was folding laundry at the dining room table. A cousin of mine named Eric had just returned from hunting turkeys with my dad. He stood in the doorway of the kitchen sipping on a beer, watching me fold laundry, and he said, “Jacob, you have the right attitude to be a priest.” I didn’t think anything of it; I wanted to be a father and a husband and being a priest wasn’t even on my mind. So I basically laughed it off.

Hello and welcome to The Purified Palate! I am so excited that you have stumbled across this blog! I hope you’ll stay and join me as we explore our beautiful faith together.

Be you a single woman, business woman, mom, grandma…I hope this blog blesses you with a place to renew and refresh yourself in His beautiful truth and join other Catholic women as we seek and savor that truth together!

As Catholic women, we have so many unique gifts, experiences, and perspectives to share. All of these things provide so much good to the world around us: our family, work place, parish community, and beyond. Especially during this time of the New Evangelization, I hope to bring many of you together so we can spread the beauty of our faith and make the world around us a better place; beginning with ourselves.
