Hello!
Welcome to OH U'r Catholic!?
I am so happy to virtually meet you, and by that, I mean you listening to me talk on YouTube and/or reading the
linking blogs online! Maybe we will meet IRL (in real life) sometime. Regardless, the fact that you are reading
this right now is a blessing and a connection! Thank you!
If YOU’RE wondering (pun intended)…yes, I do know how to spell, but SMS text was part of my tech life
growing up so You’re became U’r for this! Plus for the logo and social media handle, U’r just makes more
sense!
OH U’r Catholic (OUC for short) was an inspiration I received when praying at Adoration-the Adoration
Chapel that is featured as the first image of every intro to each of my videos.
God deserves all of the glory, so I want to make sure I credit Him first and foremost, and as much as possible
for OUC! As I prayed over the seemingly bizarre thought of creating a Catholic YouTube channel, I eventually realized I
had to come up with a title and one day it clicked!
The title: “OH U’r Catholic!?” is derived from my own life experiences. It is a phrase I often heard for years
attending protestant events in college, post college, and times in the workplace.
Many were often surprised or puzzled to learn I am Catholic, so I often had the statement uttered to me:
“OH U’r Catholic!” or “OH U’r Catholic?”
I invite the title to be read in whichever tone feels fit or simply happens! I find that being an example of true
Catholicism is confusing to those that are outside of THE Church, and exciting to others inside of THE Church.
SO. What is OUC? Why are you taking your time to watch or read any of this? Why am I carrying the cross of
being not just an “Influencer,” but someone publicly speaking about one of the two topics everyone warns
against speaking on: Religion
For YOU…I mean U!
Yes you!
I am persecuting myself to help bring YOU Home to THE Church, the Catholic Church, Jesus
created- OR merely am standing in solidarity to the many that feel the same as me Home in THE Church, but
were asked by God to evangelize in a different capacity…OR maybe you’re reading this and already are
someone that publicly speaks for THE Church-if so, please pray for me and I pray God continues to bless you!
I am willing to be crucified for Him, because He was willing to be crucified for me AND you.
OUC is an ever-growing abyss of thoughts I get in my constant dialogue with God throughout each
day…especially when I go to Adoration! Ooof! God sure “talks” a lot in the silence!
To put it simply, below are the unmeasurable goals of OUC:
-
Adult Catechetics
-
Apologetics
-
Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) of Catholics
-
Faith Formation
-
Faith Relationship/Journey
-
Interviews
-
Spirituality
-
Vocation Discernment
-
Singleness – the unofficial vocation
-
Hagiography
-
Hermeneutics
-
Hot Topics
-
Theology
-
Philosophy
-
Relationship Advice
-
Hot Topic Interviews
-
Miscellaneous- aka whatever the Holy Spirit moves me to!
The YouTube videos will typically not be over seven minutes, give or take because let’s be honest-who has
time for that!? Nothing is to be viewed as lectures, but merely my informative spin on social media
evangelization to learn Catholicism. It is my mission to make the goals of OUC stated above to be as fun,
understandable, and compassionate as possible!
With that said, I am reminded of the words of St. Catherine of Siena:
“You are rewarded not according to your
work or your time but according to the measure of your love.”
Since I am here for YOU, I would love topic suggestions and questions!
I pray OUC blesses you and anyone you share it with! Please subscribe to OUC for video
upload notifications, and our email list to get notified when a blog post is uploaded, if YouTube isn’t your
thang!
Personal recommendation: I will say I am far more entertaining talking in front of a camera because you will
see my utmost human imperfections on the videos trying to explain Catholicism to you in one or two takes
instead of meticulously editing my notes turn blogs on here-but cheers to God’s Gift of Free Will to you!
