Welcome to Small Catholic

I’m fascinated by contrasts and have long enjoyed the concept of smallness, perhaps especially in the context of the wonder that comes from gazing up into the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica or enjoying the vastness of a starry sky.

I’m a Catholic, deacon-wife, mom/mom-in-law to 7; newly-minted grammy; retired homeschool mom & parish DRE; ADHD, Celiac, HSP; I love learning and writing.
