The Virtue Advocate: Cathy Gilmore

Cathy Gilmore is a Virtue Advocate and the creator of the Virtue Heroes. In a world groping in darkness, the meaning of virtue itself has been marginalized. Cathy works to shine light in hearts where authentic virtue is lost or forgotten. She is on a mission to empower children, youth, and grownups with fresh energy to understand and exercise true spiritual strength.

Cathy’s dynamic skill as a speaker, catechist, educator, and award-winning children’s author integrate with her background in marketing, and merchandising to create the fresh and fun approach to family virtue formation known as Virtue Heroes.  A unique spectrum of creativity, with a supernatural sprinkling of faith, hope, and love has created the beguiling charm and powerful value of these characters who empower CHARACTER in kids!

Cathy’s passion is to captivate the imagination of children and youth and ignite in them a desire to grow strong in the true and lasting goodness of virtue!

“Mrs. Virtue Lady” prays that you and your children and grandchildren will be part of a virtue renaissance, renewing hearts, transforming culture, and blessing the world…

with each of us as tiny virtuous heroes for God.
