They had a beautiful marriage which through their faith, led them to many ACTS retreats where they made new relationships with Brothers and Sisters in Christ. A great hallmark of their marriage was the unforgettable trip they took to Rome alongside their fellow ACTS retreatants. God was already preparing them for their next chapter in life, when they accepted his three precious grandchildren to be a permanent part of their lives. Together they made a promise to raise them in the Catholic faith. After formal adoption they became a family of five. Moving forward, the children have brought so much joy to their lives.
