I’ve been sharing the faith since I was in high school and I have been a catechist in one form or another since 1991. I received my BA and MA in Theology from Franciscan University. I have a passion for passing on the Catholic Faith. I am currently the Director of Religious Formation for a parish of approximately 3100 parishioners where I oversee a number of different programs for young people. Catechist Formation is a joy and passion of mine because I love the opportunity to share with others what I know and what I’ve learned. I pray that together we catechize the next generation of students so they may come to know and love Jesus Christ and His Church more and more! Check out my blog @ https://relevantcatechesis.com
