Kate and her late husband, Deacon Mike Mims, arrived in Houston in 1997 by way of California and then Australia where they lived for six years. Kate was an education (and volleyball) Major at Cal State Fullerton. In 1984 she married her husband, Deacon Mike, who passed away in January 2015 in a tragic accident. She has four sons (three by birth and one by covenant) and eleven beautiful grandchildren. Kate studied alongside her husband at St. Mary’s Seminary for four years culminating in his ordination to the diaconate in 2007. Having been blessed with this amazing education, Kate strives to share it with others around her. Kate is absolutely certain that what Socrates said about the world is true concerning her Catholic faith, “The more you learn the less you know.”
