January 19 – Body, Soul, Spirit: Integrated Health

January 19 – Body, Soul, Spirit: Integrated Health by Kate Rewwer, RN 

Bio & Description: Kate Rewwer is a parishioner who serves in the role of Parish Health Coordinator here at St. Ignatius. She is a wife and the mother of 4 children, ranging in ages from 16-24. Kate worked as a registered nurse in the clinical hospital setting for 16 years before transitioning solely to parish work. She is an avid runner and health enthusiast. Kate strives to promote the reality that as beings created as a unity of body and soul, we are called to nurture both in order to fully honor God, our Creator. In her quest to do this in her own life, Kate has discovered the joy of combining prayer with exercise, healthy eating and fasting. She will be sharing her own experiences, along with the current research trends in nutrition. She will also discuss the need to care for the body as a temple of the Holy Spirit and how through the lost practice of fasting, we can elevate our prayers in a powerful way.
