Friend,   We have some wonderful news to share…   Our President and CEO, Kelsey Reinhardt, has welcomed a beautiful baby boy!   Both mom and baby are doing well.   Kelsey and her husband Matt have joined what has been a joyful baby boom at CatholicVote. In recent months, we've had the blessing of welcoming several tiny new 'staffers' to the team.   To be part of an organization with such a passion for life is a true gift. Each new baby feels like an addition to our extended family. Kelsey outside the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. She consecrated both CatholicVote and baby to Our Lady. We all look to Kelsey as a role model when it comes to living out the CatholicVote mission. Now, we look forward to seeing her embrace the vocation of motherhood with the same faith, courage, and joy she brings to her leadership.   After nearly a decade with the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia (the Nashville Dominicans), Kelsey met her husband in Colorado and was married just two years ago. Now in God's providence, they have received the beautiful gift of a son.   Her witness is a powerful reminder that God's plan unfolds in His perfect timing—and that with Him, all things are possible.   We'll miss Kelsey while she's on maternity leave, but we look forward to sharing in her joy (and hopefully seeing a few baby photos along the way).   Please join us in praying for the Reinhardt family during this special time.   In Christ,   Your Friends at CatholicVote Paid for by CatholicVote Civic Action, a 501(c)(4) organization, PO Box 3310, Carmel, IN 46082 (317) 669-6127 Unsubscribe Manage preferences
