It has not been my practice to actively pursue speaking events. They have simply organically developed through the years. Word of mouth endorsements provided more opportunities than I could handle at some points. However, that all changed once the pandemic arrived on the scene. Now I find that "out of sight, out of mind" truly is a thing. (I may need to start a public relations campaign to get back in sight.)
Thankfully, a few folks continue to reach out. I am grateful for those relationships that endure the test of time. I was supposed to have been with the catechists at St. Patrick's Parish last year. However, my own lengthy battle against COVID made it necessary to cancel. I am grateful that I was invited back again this year.
It felt good to be on the road again and doing what I enjoy. A tip of the hat today to everyone at St. Patrick's Parish in Casper, Wyoming. May the grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you always!
Many thanks to all of the catechists who give of their time to share in the teaching ministry of Christ. Blessings and peace!
