Cathy Rodriguez is a wife, mother, educator, spiritual director, and lifelong Catholic. She feels her mission on this earth is to help bring souls to Christ. Cathy has been an active parishioner in many ministries over the past thirteen years, including teaching children's faith formation and vacation bible school, serving as a sacristan and lector, and leading ACTS retreats in Spanish and English and book studies.
Cathy holds a Master's degree in Language, Reading, and Culture and a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. She also has a certificate of completion in Spiritual Direction. Cathy's first book, Catholic Me from A to Z, is the beginning of fulfilling her lifelong dream of becoming a children's book author.
Catholic Me from A to Z provides a way for parents, grandparents, and educators to help children understand the beauty of their faith in both English and Spanish. This book helps reinforce the letters of the alphabet while assisting children in learning more about their faith in their native language.
Gathering your little ones to read this book offers a great opportunity for discussion of the Catholic faith between adults and children. Catholic Me from A to Z is an invitation to go on a journey through the Catholic faith with the ABC's.
"As a priest, I was very excited knowing this book was on the make and felt honored to work hand by hand with the author reviewing the content and assisting with the Spanish translation. Cathy made a great job bringing some facts about our Catholic Faith following the ABCs, so it is easy to follow and understand. The content is both in English and Spanish and the illustration are beautifully done helping the children to visually understand what they are reading. The most I love about this book is that is simple, straight to the point and definitely will make the children (and adults) want to know more about what they had read. So, I greatly recommend Catholic Me from A to Z."

"Beautifully written, personal, deep, rich, a fantastic way to teach parts of the Catholic faith with child-friendly information, but there's nothing babyish about it. I dare you to not learn something new! It's helping my granddaughter practice her Spanish while learning more of her faith and God's love for us. My granddaughter understood the stories and paid attention to the illustrations."
