Magnificat Prayer Breakfast
Hosted by Our Lady of the Lake Huron Chapter
Saturday, February 15, 2025
9:00 am – 12:30 pm
Doors open at 8:30 am.
We do not assign seats so arrive early.
Location:
St. Peter Catholic Church
430 Main St.
Huron, OH 44839
Our Speaker: Sarah Cobb
Sarah Cobb, a junior at the University of Cincinnati pursuing a degree in marketing, is from Columbus, but frequently comes to Huron to visit family, especially her grandparents, Jim and Diane Dudenhoefer.
Sarah attributes her faith life to having a devout family and attending Catholic schools. “In a world that is rapidly becoming secular,” she said, “it can be challenging to walk a different path. However, being surrounded by a family that continually pushes each other in their faith and prays together is what has held us together.”
Seeing her parents, Brian and Kristen Cobb, and grandparents lead by example and share their faith with others has encouraged Sarah to live the same way. Throughout high school and college, her faith has grown profoundly, leading her to form a strong friend group rooted in Christ. She also has discovered the importance of service and volunteering, recognizing the impact it can have in one’s life.
Sarah is looking forward to sharing her walk with Jesus and how He has called her to live out her faith.
Make your reservation now to hear her talk on Feb. 15, and plan to invite a daughter, granddaughter, niece, or friend.

History of Our Lady of the Lake Huron Chapter
(Diocese of Toledo, Ohio)
Est. 2006
The Huron Chapter of Magnificat, also known as Our Lady of the Lake Chapter, was founded in 2006 to serve women in the northern part of the Toledo Catholic Diocese. We currently meet quarterly in Fremont, O., for a breakfast, praise and worship, prayer, and a talk by a woman who tells how God has worked in her life. At our Magnificat meals, we try to provide something for each woman to take home with her by offering a packet of spiritual reading at each place setting.
Our chapter grew out of a prayer group that had gathered weekly in Huron, O., for more than 30 years. We decided to form a chapter of Magnificat as we realized the need to share our love of Jesus Christ with more Catholic women. At our first Magnificat meal on February 3, 2007, Donna Jones of Detroit shared the story of how she and her husband, Alex, a former Pentecostal minister, came into the Catholic Church. Since then, we have had heard many other stories of faith from some remarkable women. We record each of the talks and make CDs of them, including the most recent, available for purchase.
In addition to gathering quarterly for the Magnificat meal, we also host an annual retreat each January and seek to promote opportunities for spiritual growth in and around the diocese.
