Nancy Ewing

For the past 13 years Nancy has specifically combined her interests in art, history, and her Catholic faith in her work as an icon painter and teacher.
Amanda Hailey
A Protestant convert to Catholicism, Amanda began her journey into the Church by way of a silent retreat. Enthralled by the beauty of devotion she witnessed, she asked the question, “What am I protesting?”
That question inspired an extensive search for answers. After reading over 60 books, pouring over countless articles, essays and blogs and interrogating an evangelistic priest with relentless questions, she entered into full communion with the Catholic Church on May 28, 2008.
Betsy Orr
Betsy Orr is a native of Atlanta, a mother of two young adults, and a convert to Catholicism. A life-long Christian raised in the Episcopal church, she experienced a deep conversion and was received into the Catholic Church in May of 2008.
Out of her love and appreciation for having become Catholic, Betsy serves as President of PHC and devotes her time to revitalizing the area where the Catholic faith took root in her beloved home state of Georgia.
