I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life

Mass-Centered Family Faith Formation

Named a bestseller by Pflaum Publishing Group, this book presents the theological reasoning and practical guidance for restructuring parish faith formation with the Eucharist at its center — uniting families, deepening sacramental life, and reversing decades of declining Mass attendance.

With endorsements from the Vatican's Dicastery for Evangelization, multiple bishops, and proven results across parishes in the Diocese of Paterson, this is both a vision and a roadmap for renewal.
