Christina grew up in a strict Catholic home and drifted off during her early 20’s, but the Lord wanted her back so badly she had to turn up the radio just so she would not hear Him calling.
Spoiler Alert: She eventually gave in! 
With the help of her mother, Irma, she began teaching CCD at her home parish, Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Mercedes. Eventually, she began teaching and preaching to youth and young adults. 

In 2016, Christina underwent two years of formation under the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal. After this, she began helping youth and young adults understand and implore Chastity and Theology of the Body.

Christina has a huge devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe, and her favorite saints are
St. Therese
St Padre Pio
St. John Paul II 

Her best friend is a priest and cried when she saw Pope Francis at World Youth Day in Panama.

She has worked at St. Joseph Church for almost 8 years, lives in Edinburg and her favorite thing is being an aunt, she has 8 nieces and 4 nephews, whom she loves very much.

Chistina loves superhero movies, cycling, hiking, and the beach.
