Why Be Catholic?

Fr. Ken Geraci, lived the life of the prodigal son for most of his young adult life.  Raised in a nominal Catholic family, who only lived the externals of the faith, Fr. Ken left the Catholic Church for many years.   During that time he worked as a business profession in Advanced R&D and software testing; a few years into his career he joined a few of his co-workers in establishing a 4.5M Internet software company.  Focused on money, fitness and success, he made little room for God; but God did not give up on him. During this journey, God presented him with challenges that forced him to question his personal beliefs and the question “What is Truth?”  Through a series of conversions, years of struggle, study and questioning, Fr. Ken found his way from agnosticism, to non-denomination Christianity and ultimately back to the Catholic Church.

Fr. Ken joined the Fathers of Mercy in 2006 and was ordained in 2012.  Having lived a secular existence, Fr. Ken has a great understanding of the personal and societal pressures that individuals face and knows what it is like to “hate coming to church.”  This mission is for people of all ages and levels of faith, from those who are madly in love with Jesus, to those who pretty much cannot stand church or religion.  Regardless of your level of faith come and experience God’s Divine Mercy!

Entire families, even those with small children, 
 are encouraged to attend the mission.

Talks are Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (March 10-12) beginning at 6:30pm, and will last about 75 minutes. Confessions will be heard an hour before the talks begin and Fr. Ken will also be available to hear confessions after the talks on Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday will also include a healing service.
