Fr. Chris, thank you for bring our faith and the Church to us! I have learned so much through your series “Explaining the Faith”. God bless you!!
I learned so much
Thank you Fr Alar. I’m a returning Catholic, I was confirmed 2 years ago. I love going through Seminarian with you. I learned so much and now I can defend my Catholic Faith because I am around non-believers.
Thank you
Thank you x10 Father Chris! Your talks have been enlightening and are exactly the type of religious lessons I have been looking for for so many years. You have helped to bring me back into the Catholic Church after being away since middle school. It’s easy to follow your talks because of your humor, vast subject knowledge, and obvious time and effort spent preparing each talk. You’re a wonderful teacher. Your love of the Catholic faith is evident and has been contagious. May God bless you always.
