Founder’s Story:
I was brought up in an atheistic home, but when I moved to secondary school, I started to question society. It started a few years into secondary school, during PHSCE classes when abortion came up. I didn’t know what abortion was at first. When I learned what it was, I was instantly against it because of the basic sex education I received in primary and early secondary school.
I didn’t realise it at the time, but that moment made me start to question society. This became especially true during my last years of secondary school.
In PHSCE they were clearly trying to normalise things such as casual sex, including one-night stands. They were also trying to promote transgenderism, abortion, and some other things. Now I look back, SEXions, the NHS, and the government were targeting teenagers and vulnerable people.
Also, around this time I started to doubt atheism. I wanted to explore to see if any religions were true, which led me to Christianity, in particular Catholicism. While I was doing this, I started to practise my faith in secret. On the second time was caught going to church.
In mid‑2025, I saw both images and a video related to abortion. This motivated me to order and print pro‑life leaflets and post them door to door. After a while, my crippling social anxiety made me give up after doing a large amount of my local area.
Overall, my journey into the Church wasn’t simple, and I often had mixed signals from those closest to me. They said they were okay with it, but they often looked and acted like they might have been feeling a sense of discomfort or disappointment in me. There were also many attempts to pull me back toward atheism probably out of fear of losing me. They often tried to treat church as some kind of passive club or a treat.
On 8th of June 2025, I received baptism, confirmation, and first communion. I officially entering the Catholic Church. I chose St. Thomas Aquinas as my confirmation saint because I believe that with faith and reason, you can do anything.
Reason I Chose the Name:
It is named Light Before Breath because light symbolizes the beginning of life at conception, like in Genesis 1:3: “Let there be light”; and there was light, in the creation story. While light represents conception. Breath represents the birth of a baby. Together they express the idea that we need to protect all life based on the fact that they are human, and not at some arbitrary point which is often at or before birth. LBB basically means life before birth.
