Hi! I'm Caitie..
Still gathering people.
Still creating encounters.
Just on different roads now.
Follow my story from single foster / adoptive mom to wife & stepmom at nearly 40! I'll share how I left the Catholic school classroom, maintained a small ministry to women & educators, and began a new ministry all together: taking people to encounter God through incredibly personal tours of Ireland.

Meet Caitie
Hi! I’m Caitie Cataldo. I was born in Ireland, raised in Indiana, and been a life-long lover of Jesus through my Catholic faith. I've been back to visit Ireland many times and my connection with the land, the people, and the culture of Ireland has been a huge part of my life. I've spent the last twenty years doing two things:
-
talking to and walking with the teens, women, and educators who were thirsty for Jesus!
-
bringing the best of Ireland's music and culture to those who were thirsty for the Irish spirit (and maybe Guinness).
My passion for preserving and presenting Irish culture spans 30+ years. Having served as Creative Director for one of the only remaining family-run Irish festivals in America, our family life revolved around creating pop-up experiences filled with Irish music, food, culture, and spirit. This work gave me a wealth of knowledge, contacts, and a standard for excellence when it comes to highlighting Irish culture — all of which makes for truly unique and creative tours. my passion is gifting friends an encounter with Ireland in such a way that their souls are changed forever! While my trips aren't pilgrimages, God alwasy shows up. It's still a ministry.
Today I live in South Bend, Indiana with my Italian husband, Massimo, our two boys, and Teddy, the dog I insisted we get when I returned from Ireland the last time. Follow along and let's see what God has in store.
