During the week, I am a Bereavement Minister and Chaplain, counseling heart-broken families and presiding at funerals for people of all denominations.  I am also a published author (Franciscan Communications-St. Anthony Messenger Press) and I am in the process of publishing my book called "Toward Consolation and Peace."  I am called upon by local colleges, churches and other organizations as a speaker on bereavement topics.
