Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist

On the Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, Kaitlin Simone Davis said "yes" to serve Christ, her bridegroom and his Church as a consecrated virgin! Bishop Deshotel celebrated the Rite of Consecration of Virgins at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist. 

Kaitlin graduated from Mandeville High School and obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Athletic Training from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and is in the process of earning her Master's in Theology from the Augustine Institute. Kaitlin is the daughter of John and Faye Davis. She currently works as the Coordinator of Formation & Evangelization Outreach at St. Bernard Catholic Church in Breaux Bridge.

Three consecrated virgins are now serving in the diocese; Kaitlin Daivs, Alicia Pousson and Emily Byers.

In the Catholic Church, a consecrated virgin is a woman who has been consecrated by the church to a life of perpetual virginity in the service of God. Consecrated virgins spend their time in works of penance and mercy, apostolic activity, and prayer according  to their state of life and spiritual gifts.
