Nancy H.C. Ward

Nancy HC Ward, once a shy convert, has spent decades writing about conversion, Christian community, and the Catholic faith. After earning a journalism degree, she worked for many years for the Texas Catholic (newspaper of the Diocese of Dallas) and the Archbishop Sheen Center for Evangelization and later began her own editing service.

An active member of the Catholic Writers Guild and a regular contributor to a number of high-profile Catholic publications online (CatholicMom.com, SpiritualDirection.com, NewEvangelizers.com), she also has a busy blog on spirituality called Joy Alive.net. She’s a contributing author to The Catholic Mom’s Prayer Companion. Now, through her Sharing Your Catholic Faith Story workshops, retreats, book, and DVD, she shares her conversion story at Catholic parishes and conferences, equipping others to share their own stories.
