plain fun!”
11. In His Own Words
“My 40 years of priestly ministry have been a joy
because of the many serious-minded believers I have
met over the years. Being Catholic is important to
me because I feel rooted in an ancient theological
tradition that brings me much joy and confidence in
my faith which is essential to my identity.
My blogsite, The Wonder of Truth, and Facebook
have given me a way to share my travels and
interests”
~ Father Kauffmann
