“Growing up in the 50’s in a rural county in Virginia means

a lot of freedom….just simple

and plain fun!”

In His Own Words

“My 40 years of priestly ministry have been a joy because of the many serious-minded

believers I have met over the years. Being Catholic is important to me because I feel

rooted in an ancient theological tradition that brings me much joy and confidence in my

faith which is essential to my identity.

My blogsite, The Wonder of Truth, and Facebook have given me a way to share my

travels and interests”~ Father Kauffmann
