Since then, through the gift of adoption, she has embarked on a beautiful life of healing, thriving, and continually sharing her faith and her love for God in new and creative ways.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Born in Ethiopia, Mary and her twin sister were adopted into the Peach family in 2010. The rest of her childhood was spent in Hartville, Ohio, near Akron, surrounded by eight other sisters and brothers, five of whom are also adopted. For Mary, her new life in the Peach family was a fun and wild adventure.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after arriving in the United States, Mary was fully immersed in the life of Regnum Christi. The eldest of Mary\u2019s sisters, Rachel, who is now a Consecrated Woman of Regnum Christi, was studying in Rhode Island, where Mary immediately began attending summer camps and various retreats. \u201cIt was a baptism by fire!\u201d says Mary. \u201cEarly on, when I had my very first encounter of Christ, I had an overwhelming desire to be his friend \u2013 from the very beginning, I just couldn\u2019t wait to go back to summer camp and retreats!\u201d Mary and her sisters fundraised during the year so that they could travel to attend as many ECYD and Challenge camps and retreats as they could.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, when she was 15 years old and finished her freshman year in high school, Mary spent six weeks in Cincinnati on an Regnum Christi Mission Corps summer mission. During that time, Mary experienced a deepening of her relationship with Jesus and an increased desire to serve, but she also fell in love with the city of Cincinnati, where she currently lives.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After graduating high school, Mary pursued a Bachelor in Human Development and Family Studies with a focus on Family Life Education, receiving her degree in December of 2020. After working right out of college as an instructional aide, Mary now teaches 5<sup>th<\/sup> and 6<sup>th<\/sup> grade religion at St. Pius X School in Edgewood, Kentucky.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mary\u2019s own faith experience as a child, and as an adoptee, continues to inform her work as a teacher today. \u201cSeeing Jesus as a friend in 6<sup>th<\/sup> grade, at such a young age, allowed me to see that I had no reason not to trust him and offer him everything that was on my heart,\u201d says Mary. \u201cAs someone who is adopted and has so much history and past traumas, I learned early on that I could give the weight of that to Jesus and he would receive it all. I always saw God as an understanding God, someone who took everything I was carrying and could turn it into something beautiful, even when I felt confused and hurt by my memories and my past.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The older Mary got, the more she realized that her own relationship with Jesus relied on an intentionality in everything that she did: she strived to focus everything in her life \u2013 friendships, activities, schoolwork, sports \u2013 around God. Growing up in an active Regnum Christi family, alongside siblings who attended Challenge or Conquest and were a part of ECYD, including a sister who went on to become a Consecrated Woman of Regnum Christi, and parents who are both active RC members, Mary made lifelong friendships and developed a strong faith that she is eager to share with all those around her.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/328967ee-12d0-43d1-9590-c79f2824a570-275x300.jpg\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-35077 lazyload\" alt=\"\" width=\"275\" height=\"300\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-35077\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/328967ee-12d0-43d1-9590-c79f2824a570-275x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"275\" height=\"300\"><\/noscript>The best part of Mary\u2019s job as a teacher of religion to 5<sup>th<\/sup> and 6<sup>th<\/sup> graders is the opportunity she has to share her own faith and help her students build a relationship of trust and confidence with Christ. During her own middle school education, Mary often tired of \u201cjust following the rules,\u201d and she desires to be an instrument of the Holy Spirit to inspire her students in their faith and help to share with them what the Catholic faith truly is:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI wish I had learned the faith in a way that was not only exciting, but that helped me to understand <em>why<\/em> we do what we do, why the sacraments are important. I\u2019m hopefully giving my students what I wish I would have had when I was their age \u2013 a sense that the faith is so exciting and beautiful, it\u2019s a faith and traditions they get to be a part of, no matter how young they are! It\u2019s been such a gift to be able to share that, to help strengthen their relationship with Jesus and begin to spark that desire to have a friendship with him. To see their faith flourish, and to witness the ways that they find the Holy Spirit and God in different moments has been such a blessing for me \u2013 it\u2019s such a beautiful gift to teach young people about their faith!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mary is now 25 years old, and her involvement with ECYD and Challenge hasn\u2019t stopped. She helps with the Challenge Club that runs out of her school, and has also been working closely with ECYD nationally and internationally, collaborating with the ECYD national and international directors, as well as local ECYD directors, to help offer retreats and other activities. Throughout the summer, she helps run summer camps and conventions both in Cincinnati and beyond, and helps with training of the Regnum Christi Mission Corps missionaries.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And Mary\u2019s connection to Regnum Christi, ECYD, and Challenge in Cincinnati is extra-special: her sister, Rachel, has been a part of the consecrated community there since September of 2020, so the two are able to work together and stay connected in a concrete way serving and living the RC mission.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One unique way that Mary has been sharing her faith recently is through social media, and it has quickly become a passion of hers. \u201cA few years back, I realized that so many people looked at social media and technology with this negative perspective, that It\u2019s bad for you, that people \u2013 especially young people \u2013 waste too much time on it,\u201d says Mary. \u201cAlthough some of this is true, I realized that I could use social media in a positive way.\u201d Since then, Mary has been creating content that promotes connection by sharing her personal spiritual experiences in a fun and positive light. She recently has been assisting with social media for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rcmusiccollective.org\/\">Regnum Christi Music Collective<\/a> and with local RC websites, and helps to promote other good Catholic and Christian content on a variety of platforms.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_8466-1024x1012.jpg\" class=\"alignright wp-image-35078 size-large lazyload\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"949\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-35078 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_8466-1024x1012.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"949\"><\/noscript>Mary is currently pursuing her master\u2019s degree in psychology, with a focus on marriage and family studies, through <a href=\"https:\/\/divinemercy.edu\/\">Divine Mercy University<\/a>, and continues to be open to how the Lord is calling her to share her faith in every aspect of her life. \u201cLife has been such a beautiful gift, and it\u2019s been a blessing to be a part of the Regnum Christi family and everything that has come along with that!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about ECYD and Regnum Christi in Cincinnati and the Ohio Valley, visit their website at <a href=\"https:\/\/rcohiovalley.org\/ecyd\">rcohiovalley.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can follow Mary on social media on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mary.peach.710\">Facebook<\/a> and @marypeach98 on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/marypeach98\/\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Mary Peach was just 12 years old, her entire life changed.
