I have been involved with theatre in one way or
another for most of my life... starting with my first
ballet class at age 6! Throughout the years, I
have flirted with all the aspects of theatre, from
performing, stage managing, scenic work, and lighting...
and finally finding my niche in the areas of writing and
directing, although I still love to perform when I have
the opportunity. I majored in theatre at NYU, and have
worked steadily in the industry since... except during
a 4 year hiatus of being a youth minister. It has been a
long time dream to combine my two passions, my Catholic
Faith, and the Arts, and I am grateful beyond imagining
that the dream has finally come true.

She and her family lived in Central Florida for 14
years, the last 9 of which they have been members of St.
Mary Magdalen. She and her husband, Jim, both grew
up in Illinois – he was on the south side of Chicago,
and she was in Elmhurst, a western suburb of Chicago.
They met at St. Mary's College in Winona, Minnesota and
have been married for 23 years. They have five
precious children -- Brendan, 18; Colin, 16; Erin, 13;
Hannah, 13; and Isabella, 3. As for personal
interests, photography is a passion of hers and
something she hopes to dedicate more time to in the
future. She loves to read and horseback ride as
well. Currently, both Cathie and Jim are on the
Men's and Women's CROC teams after having made the
retreats last year. She first became involved with
the Habitat Dinner Theatre somewhat by accident with the
production of Peter Pan. Her daughters, Erin and
Hannah, wanted to try out for the part of the twins.
They talked her into auditioning for the part of Mrs.
Darling, and all three of them ended up being cast in
those roles. It was a wonderful experience for
them and, ever since then, the whole family has been
involved not only with the Habitat Show every year but
with the Living Stations of the Cross, the Bread and the
Word skits, the Art Show and the summer stock
productions. She is very happy to serve on the
Board and to be a part of CAST Ministry.
