Sr. Julia Mary Darrenkamp, FSP – Former Evangelical Protestant

Sr. Julia was raised generally Christian, but became fascinated with the lives of the saints, especially young martyr saints like St. Maria Goretti and St. Agnes, by picking up books about them in a local library.  Hungry to know more, she began to read everything she could get her hands on, and when she finally visited a Catholic Church, it clicked with her that the people she saw in the stained glass windows were the same people she’d been reading about.

That’s only the beginning of her story, which also includes how she ended up a religious sister with the Daughters of St. Paul…
