​Our Next Speaker
Meredith Lomasney

“I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God” (Eph 3:16-19).

Meredith was born and raised in Franklin, TN where her family had lived for generations.  She was raised by devout Christian parents, who were always heavily involved in their church.  She never envisioned a life outside of Tennessee (or her protestant faith) until her Senior year of college when her brother’s friend joined their family for Thanksgiving dinner.  Meredith and Joel, who was a First Lieutenant in Marine Corps pilot training at the time, quickly became serious about one another and were married the next year.  After five years of marriage, multiple deployments, and three children, Meredith began to feel God pulling on her heart to convert to Catholicism and unite with Joel and her children in faith.  Meredith became a Catholic on Easter Sunday 2013.  Over the next ten years, God slowly dismantled all of Meredith’s “hang ups” about Catholicism and won her over completely.  She loves to talk about her Catholic faith and how God patiently and lovingly has used it to shape her life and family.

Meredith and Joel moved to Mandeville in 2020 on a set of military orders (which is a God story in itself).  The friends, family, and faith community of the North Shore have made it the perfect place to plant roots and raise their five children - Sam 14, Ben 12, Louis 10, Caroline 8, and Claire who was born in October.  They attend Mary Queen of Peace Catholic Church where Meredith is involved in women and children’s ministry.
