Here’s a story that sounds familiar, about a successful media professional who walked away from a high-profile career to work for the Church.
From the Indianapolis Criterion:
She has met backstage with Taylor Swift, talked with Garth Brooks, had her picture taken with Carrie Underwood and spent time with so many country music singers, including Reba McEntire, Keith Urban, Tim McGraw and the members of Rascal Flatts.
She had her own radio program on one of the most popular country music stations in the United States–WFMS, an Indianapolis station with about 400,000 listeners.
People appreciated and followed her so much that they sent her cards every year on her wedding anniversary, and mailed birthday cards to her two young daughters.
Indeed, for 17 years, Vicki Murphy lived what many people would consider a dream life.
So it may seem surprising that Murphy uses the words “fabulous” and “most fulfilling” to describe the career move that she made in July–leaving the radio world of music, stars and promotional appearances to take the position of communications coordinator at Cardinal Ritter Jr./Sr. High School in Indianapolis.
“Catholic schools are something I believe in with every fabric of my life,” says Murphy, 36, a member of St. Christopher Parish in Indianapolis. “And marketing and public relations is something [that] I’ve been involved in for 17 years. I thought I could actually work for the Catholic schools now and do a lot for them and me.”
