Could you give an example of your participation in our parish?
I am also active with "That man is you" men's group. I have just recently  started as an usher at the Sunday morning Mass.



What do you feel nourishes your Catholic spirituality?
My spirituality has been nourished by seeing so many other catholics becoming involved in the various activities being offered here at St. Luke's.  i.e' Bible studies prayer groups and many other ministries.  

Could you give an example of something you treasure about St. Luke?
St. Luke's is not a large church where one could get lost in. The smaller setting gives me a feeling of closeness or coziness you can find in a family setting.

Could you name one or two persons who have been influential in your Catholic faith? Why?
Number one person who has been influential in my catholic faith journey is my wife Karen. We spend countless hours talking about the faith journey. She is my angel and is always there to keep me focused. Another person who is very special is author Max Lucado. I would highly recommend his writings to anyone who has any questions about their faith. Mother Teresa and Saint John Paul are my two favorite people that have lived their lives as Jesus taught us.

What is your favorite Scripture passage?
My favorite scripture passage is: Phillipians 4;13 "I have the strength to do all things by the power that Christ gives me".

Additional comments?
I love the celebration of the Mass. To be able to celebrate the last supper with Jesus and the apostles and conclude this with the Holy Eucharist is a spiritual high.
