Meet the Team

Hey y’all!

If you’re reading this it means that we finally got around to naming and starting our blog together! So, to start off let's introduce ourselves:

Hi, I’m Sarah Catherine! I was born and raised in the wonderful state of North Carolina and I come from a fairly large family (Me, my four siblings, and my mom and dad, along with both sets of grandparents). I’m a little weird and proud of the fact. I’m kinda on the short side, only 5’5, and I have curly brown hair and brown eyes. I love to act, listen to Broadway musicals, write poetry and works of fiction, Swing dance, play the Ukulele, and hang out with my friends. My favorite candy is Skittles or Twizzlers (I love sugar) and my favorite book of the bible is Tobit. I’m a cradle Catholic (meaning I’ve been Catholic since birth) and I don’t know where I’d be without my faith. I met Catherine and Maggie during my first year of High school and I've known John for forever and I’m so incredibly grateful that God put such wonderful people in my life. I was the one who came up with the idea for this blog in the first place so if you hate it you’ll have me to blame. 😉

Hello! I'm Catherine Siena, and I was born in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. I have three amazing and hilarious older siblings, and as part of a military family, I moved around the East Coast, and that's how I ended up here in NC. I met all these guys at school, and as sort of an outsider from the middle of nowhere (what they like calling “the sticks”), they took me in and have become my family. I love playing sports whether it’s soccer, volleyball, basketball, or tennis. I also love all things musicals and Broadway. I’m always up to play my ukulele with Sarah and my other friends. I’m also really great at tripping over inanimate or invisible objects and eating tubs of ice cream or a giant bag of gummy bears. If I’m not at school or sports, I’m probably hiking in the mountains, at the beach, or baking in my house probably while watching a movie. But most of all I love hanging out with my family and friends and those great moments where we’ve laughed so hard it hurts.

Hi guys! My name is Maggie Maloney, and I was born in Long Island, New York but I moved to North Carolina when I was three. I have two older sisters and a younger brother. I love my Faith first and foremost, and I also love history and politics. My hobbies consist of volleyball, being overly patriotic, FFA, being loud at inconvenient times, watching sitcoms, and hanging out with my friends and family. I attend a private Catholic school and I am currently a rising Junior. I met John and Jay at school, Catherine through volleyball, and Sarah through faith formation when we were younger, but officially at school. I am so blessed to have these wonderful people in my life and I can’t wait to tell you about all of our crazy adventures!

What's up people reading this right now. If you're reading this it's too late. If you have not guessed by now I am the kid whose picture is right next to this article and my name is John Paul but everybody calls me John (Hey you" is a popular one too). I am one in a family that consists of five girls and two boys. My siblings are my best friends in the world and I could not ask for any better. If it were not for my sisters and my brother I would not be the man I am today. They have brought me up from a young pup into a young growing gentleman. Or so I hope. I was born on Long Island and moved to NC when I was five years old but even though I left NY when I was young New York is still a huge part of who I am. I couldn't ask for better friends then my siblings but I got super lucky with finding these amazing individuals through school and church. If you caught my second sentence reference you can tell I am a huge fan of Drake and all other types of music. I like sports and play most of them but mostly baseball and basketball nowadays because those are my only options at our school. The only other really big thing in my life is my Faith. I saved the best for last because this one is HUGE. My Faith is the most important thing in my life and rightfully so. I love having a Faith that converts me, again and again, every day. Well, I have gone on way too far but make sure to tune in for my adventure stories and such later on the blog!

So there you have it! Now that you know us, we can't wait for you to become a part of our family! We're going to post about our adventures and experiences, poetry and short stories, books, lists, and a ton of other things. We'll also post vlogs covering lots of topics including how-to videos, adventures, and challenges. Subscribe to our blog below and we'll keep you updated on all the fun and excitement!

With Love,

The East Coast Catholics Family
