I, Janice Moonen, was baptized as a baby in the Catholic Church.  As a child moved to several different parishes with my folks.  At age of 13 gave some thought to becoming a nun and as a result my folks sent me to the Academy of St. Elizabeth in St. Louis, MO., a private girls Catholic school.  Attended 2 years and realized I would not join the convent.  I moved closer to home and attended for my last 2 years of high school St. Francis Academy in Little Falls, MN.

Married in 1966 and a year later realized that we no longer had a true Mass at the parish church my husband and I were attending in Coon Rapid, MN.  So we started looking for the true Church.

1. Orthodox Church in St. Paul, MN
2. Anoka, MN parish
3. Fr. Landwehr in Brooten MN, then in Rockville, MN where he built his own
4. Knights of Malta with Fr. Wathen
5. ORCM in Great Falls, MN when we came west
6. Then for a while with Fr. Joseph Robard, then found out that he wasn’t even ordained right.
7. Next it was Fr. Stanishauf in Missoula, MT.
8. Then for a while Pius X group in Missoula, MT.
9. Fr. John Martines next.
10. And finally the true Catholic Church again.
