My Modern Day Fiat.
MODERN FIAT
"Fiat mihi secundum Verbum tuum"
"Be it done unto according to Thy word"

This is a place where women can discuss, talk and hear about authentic femininity and how they are living out their fiat or yes during these modern times.

Lorraine
Content Contributor
- Lorraine Ann, 26 year old from Sydney, Australia!
​
- Something unique? I can’t just read one book at a time. I’m currently bouncing between five books! I just can’t help myself.
- Currently working as a Registered Nurse. I’m a casual nurse, so I get sent around the hospital. I can go from a general ward taking care of the sick elderly patients, patients with neurological disorders to working in the Emergency Department. I prefer it that way. Not every shift is the same and I get to work with intelligent and passionate healthcare workers. When I’m not in the hospital, I work part-time for my home parish, St Thomas of Canterbury and St Patricks. My official title is Pastoral Activities Coordinator. I help around the parish to facilitate community, assist with the sacramental program and little ways to assist my parish priest. My personal favourite is helping in the Sacristy!

- Something unique? A lot of people know that I have a deep & great love for sunrises and sunsets. I love capturing them, too!
- I’m currently in my second year of my Nursing degree and also working as an Assistant Nurse. I’m also a youth leader at my youth group (Youth for Christ), which has been extra challenging during this pandemic, but has been fruitful as nonetheless! I’m living joyfully as a single woman, although, I’ve been praying more about God’s plan for me and my vocation as I truly have a lot of love for marriage and family life, single life and religious life!
