“Authentically Catholic”
Mike and Trese admit their story is not finished. It is still a struggle for them to live what would be described as an “authentically Catholic life.” One year during Lent, Trese grew in her desire to fully embrace the truth and beauty of the Catholic faith. In time, it became clear to her that she needed to quit using contraceptives. Breaking that news to Mike was so difficult that she actually thought he might leave her. He did not. Today Mike and Trese have a home filled with children - a beautiful and loving family – a sign to the world that life matters.
