“One of Us” is a brief snapshot of people who support the Catholic church in various ways in the Diocese of Wilmington. We regularly feature people who may be recognizable within their parish communities.

NAME: Jacob McNett

HOMETOWN: Wilmington

 

PARISH: St. Patrick

“What does your faith mean to you?”

“Without my faith I don’t have anything. I’ve been very blessed with a very good life. God has blessed me with a great family, a great job, a great relationship, friends. Not too many cares, not too many struggles, not too many difficult challenges I’ve had to go through that were out of my control. But there was a time in my life when I didn’t really know what it meant to be Catholic. I was confirmed and baptized and went to Catholic school but when I really started to realize what my faith meant to me it changed everything. It’s the reason why we have joy even when it seems like the entire universe is going against us and even when it seems like nothing is going our way. We can still rejoice  and we can have faith and trust in God that everything is going to work out. Without that, even if you had everything … you would want, I don’t think you would enjoy your life without that piece.”
