Welcome to "From the Abbey"!

Dear Hungry Catholic,

From the Abbey is a Catholic educational mission dedicated to helping Catholic adults rediscover the JOY of learning and living their faith.

Below you will find the activities scheduled for 2019-2020. I hope that one of these events will meet you where you are most spiritually hungry, and that I can help you take your next step toward a deeper, more meaningful relationship with God!

If none of the events below appeal to you, please click the chat bar at the bottom of the page and let me know what you would like to learn!

From the Abbey

Teaching the Way of Love is a program for Catholic parents in partnership with Alice Heinzen. Our mission is to empower Catholic parents to embrace their role as the primary educators of their children. We have created a home and parish small group study program, and each year we hold a webinar series on a specific topic. Visit twl4parents.com to learn more.

"Keys to Spiritual Growth" is the online spirituality program I am developing based specifically on the needs of lay Catholics who are living in the world. The program helps you to build a "lay rule of life" that brings God into the center of your daily life. Despite the metaphor of rebuilding your "Inner Abbey," the lay rule of life does not require you to isolate yourself in a monastic state. Rather, it brings your "Inner Abbey" into your daily routine.

The "First Class" is my first, unrefined presentation of the course ideas. In exchange for your active participation and feedback, you have the opportunity to earn more than 50% of the "tuition" cost back as "Discipleship Points" that you can use in the Bookstore, or toward future courses and programs.

From the Abbey's featured resources are on partnering with the saints in your spiritual project. You can receive the eBook Assembling Your Spiritual Construction Crew by clicking the banner above and requesting it. You will also receive an invitation to the free mini-course, which supplements the eBook. In addition, I will share with you other resources from the Bookstore, and offer you an awesome discount on our latest online course series on the Early Church Fathers, Fathers of Our Faith!

Do you have the passion necessary to be a member?

Seeking Hungry Catholics who want to be actively involved in growing in their faith!

I am trying to build a community of on-fire, committed Catholics who are excited to discuss what it takes to cooperate with grace and become holy. Join our Facebook group, or follow the conversation in our membership area. Active participants have the opportunity to earn Discipleship Points, which can be redeemed in the Bookstore. Do you have the desire to deepen your relationship with God? Join us today!
