Catechumen profiles • Kayla Grissett & Jacob Buckles
We want everyone in the UCC community to get to know those
who are going through RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults)
to become full members of the Catholic Church at Easter. Today
we profile Kayla Grissett and Jacob Buckles!
Hi, my name is Kayla Grissett, and I’m a Freshman at UT. I am
from Markham, Texas, a small town on the coast. I grew up and
was baptized as a Baptist, but after attending Catholic masses at
home and at the UCC, I decided that Catholicism was for me. I was
originally a Mathematics/Computer Science major, but I am
making the exciting switch to Social Work!
Hello UCC Community! My name is Jacob
Buckles, and I am a first-year Biochem major
from Orange, Texas, which is located within the
Diocese of Beaumont. I am fresh to the Catholic
faith, and also fresh to Austin. Moving here was
nothing short of perfect for starting a new,
riveting spiritual journey as well as starting with
a clean slate. I decided to undertake in this
journey in faith this summer right after my high
school graduation when I attended my first ever Catholic Mass with
my two best friends--one of whom would become my sponsor.
This particular mass was the Men's ACTS retreat mass, and the
experience was nothing like I'd ever felt before, and for the first
time, I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit at such an unprecedented
level. With regards to how I found the UCC, I was fortunate
enough to stumble across their table set up at Freshman Orientation
a few weeks after I attended my first mass. Currently at UT, I am a
member of the Longhorn Band, and I am also considering pursuing
a double-major with Spanish as my second field of study. I also have
a very acute case of Tourette Syndrome, and have one earlobe that
is attached, and one that is unattached. I cannot thank you all
enough for welcoming me into your community, and I can't wait to
get to know y'all better! Hook 'em and God Bless! :)
