About Us

 Welcome to Converting to Hope—a space dedicated to helping seekers and new converts understand and adjust to life in the Catholic Church. We want to help people remove roadblocks to growing their relationship with God and His Church.

Meet Joanna and Marc, a family converting to Catholicism who wanted to share our journey with all of you as we learn and grow, so we can do it together. We are both former Protestants with deep education and training before discovering Catholicism. Marc attended Protestand secondary school, while Joanna has a degree in Biblical Languages and Biblical Counseling from a Protestant university. Since discovering the beauty of the Eucharist, we now hope to share our journey and unique insights with you.

Thank you for being here. You can reach us at jltefend@gmail.com.
