Katherine Andrews

Biographical Info

Born and raised in Dallas, I attended SMU and found Church of the Incarnation while engaged to my husband, Michael, who was raised by devout Catholic parents. Once we started having children, our commitment to the church and our spiritual lives deepened significantly. We found a Growth Group and have continued to plug into more of what COTI and CFM offer each year.

My husband and I were also confirmed at COTI earlier in 2025. I am deeply thankful for this parish and its spiritual formation and outreach ministries, which have helped shape me into the Jesus-following person I aspire to be. Our Growth Group has played a central role in our sense of belonging at COTI—both for Michael and me, as well as for our three young children—and it has been both meaningful and life-giving to be part of this flourishing parish.
