Hello! My name is Gianna B. I have lived in the beautiful state of Colorado for my whole life in a big, Catholic family, alongside my 10 sisters and 1 brother.

As I graduate from High School this spring, I feel that I have the whole world in front of me. However, I find myself wanting so much more than what the world has to offer; in this exciting and crucial point of my life, I want to learn how to love, to see those around me through a new lens, and to submit my life to the loving arms of our Father and Mother in heaven.

How grateful I am that God showed me the way to Con-solatio! I am drawn to the simple, caring way of life that the missionaries share. How they build true friendships and grow in virtue together with the poorest of the poor. It is with Con-solatio that I have the opportunity to walk with the beautiful, suffering souls of Deva, Romania, in search of the perfect love and consolation of the Father – for 14 months.

It is with such joy and gratitude that I ask you to come with me on this journey. Since I cannot go alone. I need your gift of spiritual and financial support, as do the people of Romania!

“For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life” (Saint Francis)
