The Southern Catholic Chicks

The Chicks are two friends who are truly Southern and recently Catholic.  Their primary vocations are wife and mother in their respective families.  Together, they enjoy writing, studying Catholicism, making home movies, telling stories, and taking road trips with their kids.

Southern Catholic Chick “A” was raised in the Presbyterian church.  Several years ago she attended a Catholic silent retreat, and much to her surprise started questioning what she was “protesting” as a Protestant.  Thus began a journey which culminated in her reception into the Catholic Church.  When she is not reading or studying, Chick A spends her time volunteering at her children’s schools and taking care of her husband, daughters, and dog.  She takes her sweet tea with a lot of ice and a sprig of mint.

Southern Catholic Chick “B” was a life-long Episcopalian who got involved in bible studies early in her adult life.  After some years of church-hopping in the evangelical world, she began to desire a return to liturgy and sacraments.  Unbeknownst to her, the Catholic silent retreat that she attended with Southern Catholic Chick “A” would eventually lead her straight into the Catholic Church.  In between the Chicks’ musings on Catholicism, Chick B is busy tending to her husband, children, and pets.  She takes her sweet tea with lots of lemon.
