I'm Bishop Donald Hying, and today we're continuing our conversation with Karen Paschke, a consecrated virgin living in the world right here in our own Diocese of Madison.

And today she shares with us her conversion and discernment story.

I know you're both a convert to Catholicism, then obviously within that call to be Catholic also came this particular call to be a consecrated virgin.
