After this experience in Medjugorje I started to bring groups of people to experience what I had experienced. I began to see many miracles and healings and many lives were transformed after people began to open their heart to God and practice their faith. I had a particular interest in young people and teenagers being a mother of two girls myself. I met with John McCarthy who had a vision to set up a school of evangelisation for young people where they would come into a personal relationship with Jesus and learn how to live a life of abundance. I was immediately drawn to help with this initiative and a group of us met for many years to pray and discern the way forward. During this time I attended many courses in spirituality and evangelisation. I travelled to Belgium Malta Krakow and Rome to conferences on evangelisation where I met with Albert Galea who had the experience necessary to implement this vision. I decided to leave my flying career to move to the West of Ireland to help to start the school. We set up an office in my new home where we spent a year doing preparation work i.e. setting up the charity, fundraising for the seed money and preparing a proposal for the Archbishop etc. The Lord provided all the help we required along the way and this certainly deepened my own faith to see what God can do when we trust him and step out in faith Two years on the school is up and running and I look back and see the extraordinary miracles that God has performed to bring this school to life.

Having qualified as a Nurse and worked in the caring profession I changed career to work in Aer Lingus as Senior Cabin Crew. Although I travelled world wide in this ‘glamorous career’ my life was unfulfilled. I was leading a very worldly materialistic and superficial life. In 2000 I came to a crossroads when I was invited by Our Lady through a friend to go to Medjugorje. During this pilgrimage I had a wonderful experience and it left no doubt in my mind that God truly existed and he loved me personally and unconditionally.
