Meet our Tuesday Guest Speaker

The Eucharistic Promise of Jesus –

I am with you always!

Before he ascended to heaven, Jesus promised his disciples; “I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Mat. 28:20b). Let us discover together how Jesus keeps this promise to His Church most powerfully and fully at the Eucharistic table.

 

Kenny Burchard is a former Protestant Pentecostal minister who, along with his wife and son, converted to the Catholic Church in 2019 several months after the Holy Spirit spoke to him, directing him to attend the Mass at a local Catholic parish. He and his family are parishioners at St. John the Apostle in Virginia Beach, and Kenny works for The Coming Home Network International — a Catholic Apostolate dedicated to helping non-Catholic clergy and laity discover the truth and beauty of the Catholic Church, and to make the journey home. You can watch his conversion story on EWTN here: https://youtu.be/0SEFPa2CF6s Kenny has a M.A. in New Testament Biblical Theology from the Menonite Brethren Bibical Seminary in Fresno, CA.

Meet our Wednesday-Friday Guest Speaker

Fr. Thomas Blau, OP, is a member of the Dominican Order [Order of Preachers]. He is a native of Cleveland Ohio, and a diehard Browns/Indians/Cavaliers fan. He is number 7 of 9 children, and his parents were married 65 years. After attending public schools in Cleveland and getting his undergraduate degree from Akron University, Fr. Thomas had a chance to live in Honduras and Guatemala on an extended service mission. That peaked his interest in a religious vocation. Along the way Fr. Thomas has had numerous jobs – including a mailman, a grade school teacher and a partial owner of a drug store. 

After his work overseas Father attended Franciscan University and received a Master’s Degree in Theology. There he also met the Dominicans and soon entered the order.  Fr. Thomas lived in Washington DC at the Dominican seminary and completed various degrees [including the Licentiate in Sacred Theology/STL]. He was ordained in 1999.  Since then Father has been assigned to Dominican outreaches at the University of Virginia and Providence College. He was assigned to St. Patrick Church as a parish vicar in 2010.   

Currently Fr. Thomas works at a number of projects.   He is an itinerant preacher in the Diocese of Columbus doing parish missions with his residence at St. Patrick Priory.   He is one of the Pontifical Missionaries of Mercy of the Catholic Church, an inducted “Magistral Chaplain” for the Knights of Malta, and the local chaplain for the Columbus Legatus organization.  He is also the founder of St. Barnabas Ministry which provides a Dominican priest ready to take over a diocesan parish to allow the priest to go on vacation or retreat.   That ministry is beginning to take off in recent months.  Fr. Thomas completed the Camino de Santiago [the entire Camino Frances] in August of 2019. Recently Fr. Thomas has begun teaching “homilietics” – how to do homilies – at the seminary for the Columbus diocese.
