I worked with Paul when he was developing the catechist certification program at his parish. He was devoted to having teachers and catechist who were fully prepared to share the faith with the young people in their charge. I commend him for his ongoing ministry.

The Reverend John A. Schwartzlose

Paul is a detail oriented person who has a visionary gift to create refreshing programs and opportunities to answer ministerial needs. While working with Paul in Pewee Valley, I was able to witness not only his development of a parish outreach to home-school families, I was able to partner with Paul in conducting several retreats for faculty and staff. I found him agreeable and helpful in those undertakings. I recommend him for his enthusiasm and his depth of knowledge about matters of faith and church history and liturgy.
