We are Caryn and Calle Shannon.  Our resurrection story started nine years ago.  We came to St. Clare from an AME Zion Church, not knowing a lot about the Catholic faith.  Call and I have become Catholics here at St. Clare.  Throughout the years our teachers such as Ms. Knaus, Mr. Fisher, Augustinian Fathers, Sister Kathy and Father Andrew helped us and our class develop the role of becoming true Catholics in our faith.  We have our classmates and teachers to thank for helping us understand this faith.  Becoming Catholic has changed our lives and our family by the way we act as Christians.  Another role model my sister and I look up to is our mother.  Our mother prays, goes to church, and most importantly acts like a Christian.  Today is Mother's Day and I want to thank her for being there every step of the way in learning more about the Catholic faith.  We honor her as our mother in guiding us to the path God wants us to take.  Without her we wouldn't be here.  Thank you.
