Patricia Phillippi
Nice to meet you! I’m Patricia, a contemplative at heart who is standing on sacred ground in the uninvited life of single motherhood. I claim a profound JOY in getting to lavish my four children with a faith-affirming presence. My hero-mentor is my dear mother, whose apostolate of holy motherhood formed my blueprint for life. I am drawn to Mighty Is Her Call as a conduit of grace for all the ways it acknowledges, appreciates, and encourages mothers in their gift-of-self offering. My graduate work in psychology from Divine Mercy University inspired my interest in vocational flourishing. Getting to share the fruit of my education and training with this mighty ministry is a dream come true. When I am not wearing my director’s hat, I am likely fixing something around the farm, hanging out with my children, or contemplating the sweetness of God’s mercy.
Kathryn Rombs
I'm Kathryn Rombs, mother of six children and grandmother of one sweet baby girl. I live in Rome with my husband and the three children still under our roof. I am a Scholar in Residence at the University of Dallas, where I have taught philosophy off and on for 15 years, most recently last year as an affiliate professor on UD's Rome Program. While my doctorate is in philosophy, I am currently pursuing an STL in theology at the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas. I love Mighty Is Her Call, especially in its lifting up so many Catholic mothers and being a platform for their various talents, messages, charisms and gifts. I love that this ministry is a chance for the Church and world to see more clearly the sacredness of Catholic motherhood. Mothers empty themselves for their loved ones, just as Christ "emptied himself. . . and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross" (Phil 2:6-11). It’s a vocation that affords the chance to live a radical Christ-like calling.
Annie Muller
I grew up in a small town in East Texas as a Protestant missionary, moved to the big city in my early twenties, came into the Catholic Church, and then fell in love with the kindest man I had ever met. The next thing I knew I had seven kids, and a full, messy, noisy life replete with more joy, tears, hope, and love than I could have ever imagined. My understanding of open-to-life motherhood has changed and evolved over two decades of mothering and I grow more grateful for its abundance and refinement with each passing year. I wear many hats, including Mission Ambassador and Retreat Coordinator for Mighty Is Her Call, Health Coach, and grandmother, but the vocation of motherhood is my greatest blessing.
Megan Smillie
Hey there, my name is Megan. Mom to six, and blessed with a writer’s heart, I’m a cradle Catholic, born and raised in New York. I met my Canadian husband whilst pursuing a liberal arts degree at Thomas Aquinas College in California, and now, so very far from both Canada and New York, (and much to my husband’s chagrin), we’ve called Texas “home” for the past almost-thirty years!
I’ve always had an intense love of the written word, and after teaching the middle grades for nine years at a local private school, I am thrilled to be heading up the blog at Mighty Is Her Call. Reaching out to moms in all walks of life to offer encouragement, sustenance and camaraderie is such an honor for me. As a mom of mostly-adult children, I can attest that motherhood is raw and messy. I would argue that it is the vocation that exposes us completely, for, in mothering our kids, all of our facades are completely stripped away. And therein lies our purpose as well as our unending joy. Let’s walk this glorious, sacred, cross-strewn path together!
Allyson Grubbs
I'm Allyson Grubbs. Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, I attended the University of Dallas where I received a B.A. in Theology with a concentration in Ethics in 2018. I am currently pursuing my M.B.A. with a concentration in Marketing from the same institution. I have five siblings who live all over the United States, but, to my parents' sadness, we are slowly all migrating north - for me, Iowa! I am a non-mother on the team but am grateful to have met this ministry before entering that state: "...as the eyes of a maidservant look to the hand of her mistress..." (Ps 123:2)
Sarah Hull
Hi! My name is Sarah. I love working with Mighty Is Her Call and deepening my faith. The blog is my go-to for Catholic mother wisdom and inspiration. Sharing and listening to other moms is key for me to not feel alone in the domestic chaos.
I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in marketing from Louisiana State University. While working in marketing, I discovered my real love is the design side of business marketing. With work and much self-study, I began working as graphic and web design specialist in 2006. It is very gratifying to see that my creations assist in helping other mothers be supported in their vocation.
Currently, I also enjoy the duties of being a wife and the homeschooling mother of two beautiful daughters. I am so thankful that my chosen profession allows me to work primarily from home and to be with and care for our family.
