Founder

• Oct 2014 - Present

After 35 years of experience in parish ministry I wanted to be able to share the many, many resources and ideas I have accumulated over the years in an effort to help make faith formation, youth ministry, and ministry-in-general more engaging for the wonderful youth and adults we are privileged to serve. My hope is that this will be a place where you can find ideas for your own classes, presentations, retreats, homilies, etc. I welcome your comments and suggestions as well as your requests for faith themes you would like creative ideas for. I welcome you to follow this blog and tell your friends and colleagues. https://spiritedfaithformationstrategies.wordpress.com/
