QUOTE TO NOTE: (re: Catholic Identity) A lot of communities struggle with how do we use this institution, whether it is a hospital or a high school, to pass along our heritage, but the more proximate question for me is how do I help that teacher who is passionate about lacrosse; how do I help them be more passionate about Jesus?

OBSCURE FACTOID: Mike brings a whole “professional;” stance to his ministry, constantly looking at the best practices of the ministry field and looking to make applications to his ministry and teaching

BEHIND THE SCENES:  After some coaching from a friend and next week’s interviewee, I modified my own voice level a bit with the microphone.  Still learning.  Also, I have been a disaster the last three weeks with last minute editing- which is not fair to the interviewees who do not get their promised advance look.
