As a Deacon, with the help of my wife, I developed a three-day mission "Three Days with the Lord" based on the apparitions of St. Faustina and the Divine Mercy. Doing over sixty missions in south Florida over eight years. In 2009, I started a prayer group "Adorers of the Blessed Sacrament" with exposition to attract thousands of adorers including children. My website is adorersoftheblessedsacrament.com. Due to pandemic and my semi-retirement, it is on hold.

For the past few years, our Lord has been inspiring me in planning to solve the dilemma of "Declining Sunday Mass attentance" and SaVing Catholic Souls." Catholic365 is giving me the opportunity to present these ideas.
