Meet the Founders
Welcome to the Catholic Geaux Bag family! We are a team of devoted individuals who share a deep passion for our faith and a vision to support fellow Catholics on their spiritual journeys. Our journey began with a shared desire to create a meaningful and practical way for Catholics to carry their faith with them, no matter where life takes them. Inspired by the powerful impact of sacramentals and the stories of saints who found strength in their sacred objects, we embarked on a mission to provide you with a travel-ready spiritual companion.
Katie Lee
Founder and President, Katie Lee, worked for the Archdiocese of Military Services for many years. She and the chaplain priest prepared for the spiritual needs of deploying soldiers and their families by ensuring they had the essential sacramentals to fortify and strengthen them for their call of duty. The first Catholic Geaux Bag was created with a Rosary, Saint Michael Scapular, and Blessed Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s Wartime prayer book during this time. Guided by Saint Joan of Arc and inspired by this memory, Katie was moved to create the same for every Catholic. Believing that as Church Militants, we are called to take on the breastplate of Christ.
JT Lee
JT is a retired military pilot who served our country for 24 years. He has supported and engaged in countless military campaigns including Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan), and SFOR (Balkans) during his time in the Air Force and Army. Knowing that the most pressing war is supernatural, he wore the scapular and carried the rosary with Our Lady's promise to enlist the help of the Church Suffering and the Church Triumphant. After retiring from the Army in 2013, JT continued to utilize the spiritual weapons for the home front battlefield by carrying a Catholic Geaux Bag on his travels and giving them out to others. JT is proud to serve as the Vice President of this worthy endeavor.
