It's that time again!
We have a lot of new members, and it helps to put a face with a name -- hmm...maybe not a face, but at least a "profile" of sorts!
Otherwise it can be hard to keep track of everybody.
Here is a link to the last time we did this:

Enjoy!

Ok, here's a brief profile of me.
I am 36 years old. I live in Southern California. I was born in Lebanon but left when I was 2 years old because of the civil war between the Muslims and Christians. I was consquently raised in Saudi Arabia, England, and Belgium. I came to the United States in 1984.
I am a Maronite Catholic but only went to the Novus Ordo Mass all my life (that is when I would go to Mass -which wasn't that often since I wasn't raised strongly in the Catholic faith).
I was introduced to traditional Catholicism by Mike Solimanto about 6 years ago (he made a response on EWTN against the error of an "expert" there and I e-mailed him to get more info. about the topic and continued to e-mail him after that). I now alternate between going to the SSPX chapel for Mass and independent chapels. If I am too tired to get to a TLM, I reluctantly end up going to the more conservative of the N.O. Masses in town (during which time I read from the traditional prayers of the TLM and only look up during the consecration)
I have been taking care of my 95 year old grandmother for 5 years now - day and night shift - and I only get 1 day off a year. You can't imagine the extreme mental and physical fatigue this entails. My body's aged beyond it's years and I'm suffering from depression. I'm sooooooooooooo unbelievably tired.
Granny and I live with my parents (I wish I could move out but, since I take care of Granny, I can't). My two brothers also live with us. My sister used to live with us until she got married 4 years ago and moved to France.
I have no desire to ever get married and I don't want to become a nun, so I don't know what God has in store for me in the future.
Anyway, that's the short of it.

My name is Eamon Patrick Shea. I live in West Chester, Ohio, just north of Cincinnati. The Mass center I frequent is Saint Gertrude the Great (Bp. Dolan and Fr. Cekada).
I am 33 years of age, having been born in 1973, on the 24th of September. My 'native' state (since age 1 and 1/2) is Florida, and my hometown is Ponte Vedra Beach (outside Jacksonville, just north of St. Augustine, our Nation's oldest city). My mother still lives in my hometown, my older sister is attending medical school in Maryland, and my older brother is an architect in the Orlando area. He is married and has one child (born about six months ago).
I graduated (as my siblings also did) from the University of Notre Dame du Lac, located in northern Indiana, receiving a B.A. degree in English Literature in August 1996. I attended Most Holy Trinity Seminary from September 1999 until February 2002, leaving due to lack of priestly vocation. While there I completed the philosophical training, although I had only just begun the theological courses when I departed. I am presently pursuing an M.A. through the Universite de Nancy, located in Nancy, France.
My poor family is ensnared in NewChurch, and I ask your prayers for their conversion. I have been blessed with countless graces and advantages in my life, especially since (and including) realizing what is happening in this poor world - particularly with respect to our holy mother, the Church.
God bless and keep each of you, today and always.
In the Immaculate Heart of our Sorrowful Mother,
Eamon Shea
