The Joy of Living Simply

Sonia Abi has served as a catechist coordinator for her parish for 12 years, following 30 years of teaching Scripture in local public schools.

Abi began her ministry after her children brought home incorrect information regarding the faith from school. She sought out her local catechist coordinator after her priest provided a contact. She decided to accept the role based on the biblical command to preach.

Abi noted that her decision to serve was influenced by the fact that the command to preach did not include a requirement for payment. She and her family support themselves on a single income through a simple lifestyle.
