Finding the Way Home with Kelly Reed

In this episode of Open Seat, we welcome Kelly Reed, a wife of 42 years, mother of two, grandmother of two, choir member, lector, and catechist at Holy Family Parish.

Kelly shares her powerful faith journey — from being raised Catholic, to leaving the Church for many years, to eventually returning home to the Eucharist. She opens up about:

• What led her and her husband away from the Catholic Church
• The quiet longing she always felt for the sacraments
• The role of confession in her return
• The impact of her parents’ faithful, daily prayer life
• Navigating faith struggles within her family
• The beauty of coming back stronger in conviction

Kelly also reflects on the power of prayer, inspired by her parents’ devotion and example of a constant and enduring prayer life. 

Sometimes we have to leave to fully appreciate what we had all along — and that God’s grace patiently waits for our return.

💬 Final Reflection Question:
Who or what situation do I need to bring to prayer?

If you or someone you love is questioning, wandering, or returning to the faith, this episode offers encouragement, hope, and reassurance that no journey is wasted in God’s hands.
