The Heart Behind the Mission

Catherine Heart was born and raised in New Haven, Connecticut, in an Italian American household where her parents, devoted Catholics, raised her in the faith at Saint Anthony's Church. Her journey took a significant turn at twenty-one, when an older coworker invited her to a Christian church service. In February 1999, with her friend by her side, she received salvation and was baptized in water, beginning a new chapter in her relationship with Jesus Christ. Though faith had been part of her life since childhood, a profound spiritual encounter in 2016 — three nights of visions she describes as legions of demons, Hades, and a dimension of Heaven, where the Angel of the Lord stood beside her — led her to fully commit her life to Christ, study the Word of God more deeply, and serve her community. In 2017 she received what she understood to be a God-given change of her last name to "Heart," and in that same season established Halo Heart, Inc. Alongside her ministry she has served twenty-six years in state government, earning her bachelor's degree in 2003 and her master's degree in 2005 in Criminal Justice from the University of New Haven.

In February 2023, Catherine became an ordained Licensed Independent Minister through the National Association of Christian Ministers. Two months later, Bishop Bonnie Etta of World Mission International invited her to preach at a five-day Passover conference in Maryland, where she delivered "The Seven Wounds of Jesus" and joined World Mission International as a member and spiritual daughter under Dr. Bishop Bonnie Etta. In October 2023 she received a Certificate of Completion in Healing, Deliverance, and Revival through World Mission International's Intensive Training at New Mexico State University. In March 2024 she made her first overseas mission trip to Buea, Cameroon, preaching and teaching at churches throughout the city during a five-day International School of Ministry and Business Mentorship Conference. In June 2025 she graduated from World Mission International Bible College: University of Jerusalem with a diploma in Ministerial and Prophetic Studies, and that same month was ordained a Prophetess to the Nations. Today she teaches a weekly Monday evening Bible study, ministers to others, and offers prayers for healing to individuals around the world.

As an author, Catherine finds fulfillment in writing books that encourage spiritual growth, healing, prayer, and a deeper understanding of God's Word. Her published works include Spiritual Healing | Mind, Body, Soul, Bloom to Blossom, The Eight Prayer Watch, and her newest release, Wicked Queens | The Jezabel Bloodline: Power, Manipulation, and Wickedness. Whether she is explaining how to take back dominion from the enemy, unfolding the gifts and calling of God, or teaching believers to watch and pray, her aim is the same: to open Scripture in a way that draws readers closer to Jesus Christ and helps them discover their purpose in Him.

Her passion for serving others extends beyond preaching and writing. Through Halo Heart, Inc., Catherine exercises her gift of charity and pursues a vision of building innovative Christian communities where children and youth can prosper in their God-given gifts through Christian education, creativity, and mentorship. She holds a particularly special place in her heart for orphans in Nigeria and continues to seek opportunities to serve communities both nationally and internationally. Whether through her books, ministry, missions, or philanthropic endeavors, her desire is to share the love of Jesus Christ and to encourage others to discover their purpose in Him.
