Chelsea is a 20 year old Fullerton native and a student at Cal State Fullerton. Her childhood memories of St. Juliana’s Parish include the Fall Festival. She recalls encountering Father Jude amid the crowd, who told her mother in his brogue, “I see she lives by her hair - honestly.”
In her walk with God she began longing for the mystery of deeper communion. While searching for unity and healing from past conflict with her father, who died when Chelsea was 16, her friend Philip Shifflet invited her to daily Mass at St. Juliana Church. She is most grateful to him for exposing her to the practice of the Catholic faith.
“The charm of Catholicism enchanted me. I am captivated still. My life is filled with precious souls who encourage me on this journey; many belong to the parish; still others are friends and family. I am grateful to my mother for her passion, my sponsor, Gretchen Humberg, for her kindness, and my friend Jorge for his honesty. These and others are gems gifted from God.”
...and Chelsea has a voice that is a gift from God. You can join in singing with her at daily Mass.
