Yes! I Am Catholic: How Faith Plays a Role in My Life

It is important for all of us to know that we are not alone in valuing our faith. When teens hear someone they respect talking about being a Catholic, whether it is another teen, a celebrity, or an adult they admire, they feel strengthened in their own convictions and beliefs. Here teens will read stories by people who could be next-door neighbors, teachers, favorite athletes, or beloved authors, including the following:

Steve Chabot, United States congressman

Timothy Goebel, Olympic medalist, figure skating

Bill Gullickson, retired Major League baseball player

Catherine Hicks, actress, 7th Heaven

Tara Lipinski, Olympic gold medalist, actress

Tony Melendez, musician

Anne Rice, novelist

Tim Roemer, former congressman

Matt Smith, MTV Real World

Adrianna Trigianni, fiction author

These stories are from Catholics who have struggles in their faith life, yet they can still proudly say, "Yes! I am Catholic!"
