This faith foundation was greatly enhanced some twenty-plus years ago when I took the prescribed courses to become a part of the Marian Catechist Lay Apostolate, founded by the late Father John A. Hardon, SJ, and approved by Rome to teach the fullness of our Catholic faith. Our international director is Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke, former prefect of the Apostolic Signatura, a part of the Roman Curia. I further studied the Bible, our catechisms, canon law, and the encyclicals of Saint John Paul II, Pope Benedict, and now Pope Francis. My faith formation also included study of the Councils of Trent and Vatican I and II. I have twenty-plus years of experience teaching our Catholic faith, including CCD, RCIA, and adult faith formation.view less
