Born and raised in San Diego, Calif., Katrina earned her BA in theology (summa cum laude) from Franciscan University of Steubenville (Ohio) in 1986, where she remained as a publications writer for 10 years in their public relations department. In 1996, Katrina co-founded Women of the Third Millennium with Zoe Romanowsky-St. Paul to promote the dignity, vocation, and mission of women and men through talks, retreats, and articles. Through her active speaking ministry, Katrina developed presentations on Theology of the Body for single people, married couples, parents, women, men, confirmation candidates, college students, NFP teachers, marriage prep ministers, and general audiences. She has spoken throughout the United States and in Switzerland, Austria, England, Canada, Guatemala, and Trinidad at parishes, retreat centers, and national conferences. Katrina is the author of Discovering the Feminine Genius: Every Woman s Journey (2010, Pauline Books and Media), The Body Reveals God: A Guided Study of Pope John Paul II s Theology of the Body (2008), When Life Doesn't Go Your Way (2009; Word Among Us Press), and the creator of an 18-lesson confirmation curriculum based on the theology of the body. She served as the co-host of a 13-part series on EWTN on the Theology of the Body as well as the host of a 13-part series on the The Genius of Women and the sole presenter for a 13-part series on Theology of the Body Scuba Dive for Catholic Familyland Television Network.

She is a contributing author to Amazing Grace for Women (2005), The Great Life: Essays on Doctrine and Holiness (2006), and Freedom: 12 Lives Transformed by Theology of the Body (2009). When Katrina isn't reading Theology of the Body or on the road, she enjoys dancing Argentine tango, studying Spanish, visiting San Diego, hiking, body surfing, and visiting with her young-adult son, Michael.

Review:

It is my hope that this text will prove helpful for those who are seeking a deeper understanding of our late Holy Father's teachings and inspire readers to apply Pope John Paul II's insights to their lives as disciples of Jesus Christ. --Bishop Thomas Olmsted, Phoenix, Arizona (one of the orgianl translators of Theology of the Body from Italian into English)

In her own fresh and clear language, Katrina gives readers a guided tour of the rich terrain of John Paul II's Theology of the Body. She provides effective and reliable help for those who find themselves discouraged by the difficulty of his writing. Her insights and analogies bring out the great beauty of his vision and thereby encourage readers to explore the original text itself. --Michael Waldstiein, PhD translator of the 2006 English edition of Theology of the Body

I would like to thank you for such a wonderful book. You explain every detail and give great examples for people like me to understand. I love it, and I recommend it! --Jenny Beraun, Canada
