Joy in Catholic Life: First Assumption Mass and Fulfillment

Shane Page was raised in a United Methodist family in North Carolina, and went on to become an elder and a pastor in a congregation there, serving 18 years in church leadership. He didn’t grow up with any experience of Catholicism, and had almost no knowledge of it, but his desire to be as fully formed as possible in his faith led him to dive headfirst into questions of history, liturgy, and even the lives of the saints, especially St. Therese of Lisieux. In 2021, after resigning his ministry, he entered into full communion with the Catholic Church.
