Magnificat Prayer Breakfast
Hosted by Our Lady of the Lake Huron Chapter
Saturday, April 13, 2024
9:30 am – 12:30 pm
Doors open at 9 am.
We do not assign seats so arrive early.
Location:
St. Peter Catholic Church
430 Main St.
Huron, OH 44839
Our Speaker: Paige Stieber
Paige Stieber is the youth and young adult minister for the Catholic parishes of Sandusky. She grew up in Monroeville in a house that she says was never dull or quiet with her parents, grandmother, and four siblings (including her twin sister, Kara Burns). Paige and twin Kara played travel volleyball together and had the same group of friends at St. Joseph and Monroeville High schools and both are currently expecting their first child. On a pilgrimage to Medjugorje, site of reported apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Paige had a conversion experience that led her back to the Catholic Church and began to hear a calling from the Holy Spirit to work with youth and young adults. After much prayer and discernment, she saw a notice about an opening for the job she now holds in Sandusky and was hired in May, 2023. Her favorite saint is St. Faustina and while on pilgrimage in Medjugorje, she read her entire diary. Paige married her husband, Aiden, in September, 2023. Their baby is due on June 29, the feast of SS. Peter and Paul. Plan on being with us on April 13 to hear more about Paige’s inspiring faith 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.
