Sr. Theresa Aletheia Noble, FSP – Former Atheist and Catholic Revert

Sr. Theresa Aletheia Noble, FSP, was raised in a strong Catholic family, but witnessing hypocrisy among Christians and trying to make sense of suffering led her to ultimately reject the very existence of God. She still wanted to be a good person, though, and spent the next several years trying to explore what that meant, advocating for animal rights and working in teaching and farming projects overseas. Struck by the apparent meaninglessness of life, and especially of death, she began to consider spiritual questions, and found herself drawn by grace not only to belief in God, but to reunion with the Catholic faith she’d rejected as a teenager.
