About Our Speaker: Jody Tosto
![]()
Jody is a lifelong Catholic and member of St. Christopher Parish for 53 years, with a large family that includes two great grandchildren. She was baptized in the Holy Spirit in 1974 and experienced a profound, personal healing. This led her to begin a passionate study of God’s Word and home Bible Study, blossoming into three Bible Studies at two different Churches. Come to hear how the Lord taught Jody to move “from FEAR to FAITH” through His Holy Word. It will be a blessed morning in the Lord!
