## Resource

Dr. Stacy Trasancos, PhD chemist and Holy Apostles adjunct professor, shares her radical journey from atheism and materialism to Catholicism. Once viewing people as "complex atom systems," a desperate prayer led to conversion, marriage, sacraments—and reconciling science with faith through the Eucharist and reason. Discover why science was born from religion, how faith expands scientific horizons, and her fight against materialism in this powerful witness. Perfect for STEM believers, converts, or anyone exploring faith & science.
