The heart of
Red Bird Ministries

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

For a long time, my pain served no purpose. Grief is the most human experience one can go through. I couldn’t escape it. The world provided no peace for me, only emptiness. Everything changed when I met Christ. The call to Red Bird was spoken over my life before my children died. God allowed something I viewed as broken, messy, and weak; and transformed it into something beautiful. Red Bird Ministries is a gift to the Church.

DIRECTOR OF FAMILY SUPPORT

In the depression that followed my son’s death, I was forced to examine my own brokenness and confront the holy mystery that, in the light of faith, we are invited to unite our deepest sufferings to the heart of Christ. In time, the darkness of grief led me to peace, purpose, and joy. I am honored to share the mission of Red Bird to bring hope and comfort to those suffering the loss of their beloved child.

TEAM SUPPORT

December 4, 2017 my son Leo passed away from SIDS. I remember walking into our Parochial Vicar’s office. I told that priest “I was Faithful. I held onto Faith after our miscarriage, and now this??” Oh the questions.

His words still echo in my heart. “He is the same God Brittany. That God who carried you through the loss of your miscarried baby, is the SAME GOD who is carrying you now. He never changes, even when we do.” These words have carried me through so many hard days.

DIRECTOR OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES AND LEADER SUPPORT

When my husband and I lost our first and only child through miscarriage, I could not fathom how anything good could possibly come from this tragedy. Little did I know that my grief journey would lead me to my life's purpose. Through my masters' work in psychology, I began to understand that God was calling me to use my personal experience combined with my professional training to serve families suffering through the unimaginable. It is such an unfathomable privilege to partner with Red Bird in the beautiful and meaningful work of walking with families through child loss.

MISSION ADVANCEMENT COORDINATOR

I am overjoyed and privileged to be a part of this ministry and am blessed to serve others and His kingdom. Red Bird was there for me when I needed them the most, and I hope I can help be a part of that for others.

EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT

FUNDRAISER SUPPORT

After the loss of our son in 2022, we found such a beautiful and welcoming community in Red Bird that has been a great blessing to our family. To be in a room full of mothers of loss who understand my pain is the comfort my heart needs and a safe place to take my grief. I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to join the mission of this life-changing ministry and help others in their time of need. I can't wait to help you plan your Red Bird Ministries Golf Tournament so that clergy and leaders can be trained in your community.

APP COMMUNITY MANAGER

For as long as I can remember, I have had an innate desire to protect the dignity of women. This manifests in a desire to pursue a degree in biology with a focus in women’s health and infertility. Over the past three years, through my own experience and the experience of women in the Red Bird community, I have observed a need for specific attention to infertility and its roots in each woman’s life. Women and their families deserve answers and support on their journey of infertility.

ART DIRECTOR

Never could I have imagined that just weeks after having a baby shower for my cousin Victoria, we would be planning a funeral. Victoria was 36 weeks pregnant when her baby had cardiac failure. Sadness overcame the entire family as we waited with her after the doctors induce labor. Red Bird Ministries was a huge blessing for my family, and we will never forget the love and prayers that covered our family during this unimaginable moment.

DESIGNER

In November 2021, my husband and I lost our second baby when I was nine weeks pregnant. Two years later, in June 2023 our first baby, Lauryn Adelie suddenly and unexpectedly passed at three years old. This is a trial we would not be able to carry without the grace of God, and the help of our little one’s prayers. She is teaching us more about Heaven, and actively helping us to also become saints. We are still pilgrims on our own earthly journey, and are grateful to serve and be so well-supported by Red Bird Ministries.

MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR

Losing my dad at the age of 2 opened my eyes to a world of grief I never understood until I began my own healing journey. It wasn’t until I began exploring my grief through both the clinical and spiritual lens that I unlocked a spiritual awakening. I knew that there was so much healing that the Lord had in store for me and desired others to know this great gift. At Red Bird Ministries, we support and serve the human to get access to the saint. The supernatural gift of divine charity through the holy works of the Divine Physician allows families to be lowered through the roof to Jesus.

SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR

I was chosen to play a role in man’s salvation history, a small part perhaps. But there is nothing “little” in the eyes of God. My response does not end with me but echoes throughout time into eternity. The number of souls affected and saved by my fiat of “yes” will be known only when I come face to face with my all-powerful, knowing, and forever present Lord. I am deeply humbled. Thank you, Lord, for choosing me.

LEADER FORMATION

Red Bird has become another sweet surrender to God’s will of being able to journey compassionately with couples into a greater understanding that all of our sufferings has meaning, purpose, and redemptive power when united to our healer, Jesus Christ, and his true living presence in the Sacraments - Priceless
