Something About Our Speaker Gerri Majcin
Geri Majcin, a selfless and
dedicated teacher, spent 31
years teaching secondary
English to young Catholic
women in Chicago. Geri
grew up in a Catholic community, and participated in
many Catholic church novenas, special devotions and
festivals near her home.
When she was in the seventh
grade, Geri had a special visitation of the Holy Spirit during a
holy hour with her family on Holy Thursday. She felt the
presence of the Lord and experienced euphoria. She developed a deeper prayer life and continued to grow in her relationship with Jesus.
After graduating from college, Geri married her high school
sweetheart, Rich, and they had two children. As the demands
of her teaching, motherhood and church work increased, Geri
found it difficult to devote herself to prayer and contemplation as she had as a young woman.
When Geri and Rich’s son was four years old, he was diagnosed with Wilm’s cancer which had a 50% survival rate.
Their son suffered the loss of a kidney. For two long years,
the worried parents suffered with their son, but in the end,
Jesus completely healed him. Looking back, Geri said she
was able to care for her son and family knowing Jesus was
carrying them as in the famous “Footprints in the Sand” picture.
While teaching, Geri helped with a Kairos retreat. (Kairos
means God’s time). As a result of her participation, Geri’s
faith grew dramatically. Jesus became first in her life and in
her classroom.
When they retired, Rich and Geri moved to Walker, MN to
relax. They both are extremely busy in their parish of St.
Agnes, Bible studies and helping with grandchildren. Geri
attests to the closeness of Jesus in good times and in bad.
Her favorite Scripture verse is: “Everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who
knocks, the door will be opened.” (Matthew 7:8)
