“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything,but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." -Philippians 4:4-7
I grew up Catholic but it was in high school and college that my faith became more “real” and necessary to me, which is one reason I love discussions with the Confirmation groups. I have continued being part of small groups and high school ministry since graduating college in 2011,. The last 5 years as a St. Charles Confirmation small group leader. I am also blessed with a beautiful family including my wife Christine and three girls: Elizabeth (7), Maura (4), and Lucy (1) who also ask a lot of great questions and keep me busy!
