Our Speaker: Kim Rodriguez-Torres
Kim Rodriguez-Torres of Parkland, Florida, is a wife, mother, grandmother, and woman of God who has been involved in various areas of ministry for the past 30 years.
A former member of the Magnificat Central Service Team, Kim is a commissioned lay ecclesial minister, certified advanced catechist, retreat facilitator, prayer group leader, and evangelist. She also has been a Catholic school teacher and assisted on the board of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal for Orlando and the Archdiocese of Miami in Florida. Additionally, Kim is the founder of Bella’s Blanket of Blessings, a ministry that was started after her 4-year-old niece and goddaughter, Bella, became paralyzed and was diagnosed with cancer. The ministry distributes prayer blankets to the sick, suffering, and anyone who needs prayer in hospitals, nursing homes, homeless shelters, and seminaries around the world. Bella’s Blanket of Blessings also helps promote vocations to the priesthood through prayer and spiritual adoption of seminarians and priests.
Kim is willing to share the power of prayer, the love of God, and the mission of Christ at any opportunity. She says, “When you realize that what happened on the cross was done out of love for you, it changes your life forever.”
Plan on being with us Sept. 12 to hear more about Kim’s life and journey.

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.
