Patty Schneier is a life-long Catholic, housewife, and mother of three from the Archdiocese of St. Louis. She and her husband Larry are active members of their parish, where Patty cantors at Sunday Mass. Their son, Fr. John Schneier, is a priest of the Archdiocese of St. Louis. For the past 22 years, Patty has been speaking at parishes and Catholic Conferences across the United States.

In 2007, Bishop Paul Zipfel sent 25,000 copies of her testimony, “Prove It, God!”…And He Did, to every Catholic household in the diocese of Bismarck, ND, and in June 2013, it was distributed nationwide as the “CD of the Month” for Lighthouse Catholic Media. With additional talks on a wide variety of topics, Patty gives witness to the beauty of the Church’s teachings and her love of the Catholic Faith.

During her 19 years of work in Catholic Radio, Patty hosted weekly radio shows, conducted countless interviews, and produced a daily podcast for Covenant Network Catholic Radio.  she has been a guest on EWTN, Ave Maria Radio, Catholic Answers Live, and numerous radio affiliates across the United States.

Her book, Love Letters from Mom on What Matters Most, is a compilation of personal letters written to her three children as they mature into adulthood and venture out on their own. Without preaching or scolding, she candidly discusses the joys of living a faith-filled life, what it means to be a Catholic in the world today, and why it matters. It is a book to inspire and encourage all parents and their children – no matter what their age – to live for Christ, to strive for holiness, and desire Heaven.

Patty is the recipient of  the Archbishop Robert J. Carlson Excellence in Communication Award and was named The St. Paul Woman of the Year in 2015 for her work in evangelization by the Executive Board for the Daughters of St. Paul in St. Louis.
