KENDRA TIERNEY
Wife, Mom, Writer, CatholicAllYear.com

Kendra Tierney lives in an It’s a Wonderful Life-style fixer-upper in the wilds of unincorporated Los Angeles County with her husband, their ten kids aged 1 to 18, and some chickens. Kendra is a retired pilot and flight instructor who is putting her English degree to use as a homeschool mom and writer about all things Catholic. Her passion is liturgical living. What began quietly in their home with their children as a way to introduce the lives of the saints and the beautiful history and tradition of our Catholic faith now reaches hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. Through her blog, CatholicAllYear.com, social media accounts, YouTube videos, and dozens of books including The Catholic All Year Compendium: Liturgical Living for Real Life, and the newly-released Catholic All Year Prayer Companion, she shares how obscure Catholic traditions have helped the Tierneys form a strong family culture and Catholic identity, and have fun doing it.

REV. RICARDO ARRIOLA
Pastor, Shrine of the True Cross, Dickinson

Father Ricardo was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, and is the youngest member of a large family, comprising nine siblings. His educational journey began at a young age, as he attended Catholic schools from Pre-K through College, where he received a solid foundation in both academics and moral values. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Arts with a minor in Animation, demonstrating a keen aptitude for creativity and design. At the age of 25, Father Ricardo relocated to Texas, where he embarked on a career as a Bilingual Teacher for the Alief Independent School District. His exemplary teaching skills and dedication to his students were recognized when he was awarded the prestigious title of Teacher of the Year. After five years in the field of education, he felt a profound spiritual calling to pursue the Priesthood, prompting him to set aside his professional aspirations. In 2012, Father Ricardo entered the seminary, marking the beginning of a transformative journey dedicated to spiritual growth and theological education. He attended the University of Dallas, where he engaged in the study of Philosophy, further deepening his understanding of the principles that underpin the Catholic faith. Subsequently, he continued his theological studies at St. Mary’s Seminary in Houston, Texas. Father Ricardo holds a Master’s Degree in Divinity and Pastoral Studies from the University of St. Thomas, along with an STB (Bachelor of Sacred Theology), an ecclesiastical degree in Theology that signifies advanced theological training and preparation for ministry. His commitment to serving others culminated in his ordination as a priest in 2019. Currently, Father Ricardo serves as the Pastor of the Shrine of the True Cross, where he continues to dedicate his life to the service of God and the community, fostering spiritual development and offering guidance to those in his care. His multifaceted background as a graphic designer, educator and now as a priest enriches his pastoral ministry, allowing him to connect deeply with individuals from diverse backgrounds and to nurture their spiritual journeys.
