About ...
Kathy Cassanto is co-editor of Come My Beloved: Inspiring Stories of Catholic
Courtship (CWG Seal of Approval, 2011). She is a wife and home schooling mother of
three boys and four girls. She was born and raised in the Ottawa Valley, and is locally
famous for her baking, especially butter tarts! Kathy has found her debut into the
publishing world to have been a positive experience. She and her husband, Mark, are
NFP Promoters for the Couple to Couple League and support Catholic family life on
many levels.
The idea for Come My Beloved came about on Valentine’s Day in 2009. A group of
mothers, including Kathy, were enjoying one another’s fellowship as their children
played and exchanged cards. Each mother began to share how they met their
husbands. Realizing that God’s hand was truly present in bringing each couple
together, Kathy remarked, “It’s too bad there isn’t a book available with Catholic
courtship stories.” Two years later, her idea has become a reality.
