Hey friends, I’m a teacher of theology and catechist for a Catholic parish.

Since there are hundreds of new friends on here, I thought I would re-introduce myself to you.

I am obsessed with theology and I write about it every day.

If we haven’t already connected, I’d love to chat with you to help you on your journey of learning Catholic theology.
