Rev. Phillip R. Szabo
Molly Simonton
I am the youngest of five children raised by devout Catholic parents. During the pivotal and often socially challenging middle school years, I had the privilege of attending Catholic grade school, made possible through the financial support of my maternal grandmother, for which I remain deeply grateful. After moving to West Virginia, I found a spiritual home at Blessed Sacrament in South Charleston. Through the warmth and guidance of this community, and under the mentorship of Fr. John Finnell, my husband embraced the Catholic faith and converted in 2011. Since our sons’ baptism in 2009, we have been actively involved in parish life, cherishing the opportunity to grow together in faith as a family.
