Canterbury to Rome via Lourdes

From a very early age, I knew I had a vocation-an undefined calling to serve God and His people. For thirty years, I dedicated myself to ministry in the Episcopal Church, but ultimately, I felt a deeper call. This past April, His Eminence, Cardinal Dolan, confirmed me as a Roman Catholic at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York during the Easter Vigil.

Canterbury to Rome via Lourdes recounts the journey of faith that led me to renounce my orders as an Episcopal priest and embrace the Roman Catholic Church. This memoir serves as my personal epistle to those considering conversion to Catholicism, those wavering in their faith, and anyone who might find joy and inspiration in my spiritual homecoming.

My path to conversion was anything but straight. It was a winding journey filled with doubt, reflection, and, ultimately, clarity. In the words of Saint Paul, I viewed through a glass darkly, seeing an image of God calling me closer. I heard a voice urging me to keep asking, keep looking, and keep praying for the light to lead me home.

Join me as I share the profound experiences and reflections that guided me on this spiritual pilgrimage. May this story be a beacon for anyone seeking deeper faith and understanding.
