About Me

This website aims to proclaim, explain and defend the Catholic Faith and the teachings of Jesus Christ, upon which our Holy Mother Church is founded.

I am an optometrist. There articles on pertinent eye-related topics.

I direct, edit and produce short films for My Space and You Tube. See my main webpage, Catholic Digital Studio .
See my You Tube Channel, Button 36 . I specialize in educational films about the Catholic Faith. It is a growing apostolate. Most films are still in the works.

There are links to faithful Catholic reference materials and websites, and links to a menagerie of Catholic-related videos: some educational, some inspirational, and some ministry-related.

Occasionally, I'll opine on topics important to today's Church. Links to my blog articles are provided here and above.

Disclaimers: My Space makes money through advertising, allowing users such as myself free websites. This is wonderful. However, this also means I do not have control over every single link on my own website. Some links are under exclusive control of My Space. For example, I cannot remove the link to my astrological sign. I do not believe in or encourage this practice. I have no control of pop-up ads or ads linked on the bottom of this page or on the bottom of my blog pages. That is controlled solely by My Space. The links provided at the top of this page: Home, Browse, Search, etc... are all under exclusive control of My Space. I also cannot be held responsible for the links provided on other websites, as these change constantly. I've tried my best to weed out the bad stuff. I wish to provide only good spiritual food. I hope you you enjoy the feast. Thanks for visiting!

I'd also like to thank MySpace for providing me with a free website. Albeit imperfect, it is nonetheless greatly appreciated

One of my hobbies is digital photography and digital art. Roses are my favorite flower to photograph because the beauty of the rose reminds me of Our Lady. Above is one such rose. Feel free to download it.
