Exciting Announcement!
As you may know, I serve as the executive director of an independent Catholic nonprofit organization responding to the wounds of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. While In Spirit and Truth is my own personal blog, not under the umbrella of this nonprofit, I can’t help but share some exciting news with you today.
Our organization began as a small circle of concerned Catholics gathering in my living room in 2019. When we founded "Awake Milwaukee," we were focused specifically on the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and had no idea how quickly we would grow.
Over the past five years, more and more wonderful people have connected with us from all over the country - including many of you! We are now a big, beautiful, diverse community made up of abuse survivors, concerned Catholics, and allies from across the United States and beyond. We decided it was time for our name to reflect this broader reach.
So, as of today, we are officially dropping Milwaukee from our name. We are a national organization, and our name is simply Awake.
To celebrate this important step, we also have a new look, new logo, and new website: www.awakecommunity.org. This project has been keeping me very busy over the past few months, and I’m so excited to finally be able to show it to you! I hope you love the warm, welcoming tone, the subtle sunrise in our logo, and the simple navigation to all of our resources. Check it out here:
If you like what you see, would you do me a favor and like, comment on, and share our social media posts today?
Thanks so much! I’ll be back later this week with the second part of this month’s Survivors’ Voices post, but I really wanted to show this to you today. :)
I appreciate your support!
