A little about myself…..My name is Pete Holcomb. My wife and I have been married for twenty-five years and we have four beautiful children. I carry many titles in my life but the most important are husband and father. Everything I do and every decision I make is for my family and I am guided in these decisions by my faith. I am a firm believer that God has a plan for each of us. It is not always obvious and sometimes it can be hard for us to understand that the pain that we are going through is leading us to something greater and is, in fact, part of a much larger plan. I have struggled with this in the past and it can be difficult to remain focused on what is important. Praying, lifting my worries up to God, thanking Him for my blessings and reminding myself of how lucky I am are the practices that guide me through each day. Faith and prayer are very powerful and they have had a major impact on my life.
It has been a longtime goal of mine to use my love of writing to express my devotion to the Catholic faith and share my experiences as a Catholic dad. In preparation for starting this blog and to build upon my Catholic education , I earned my Catechism Certification from the Pontifical Paul VI Institute of Catechetical and Pastoral Studies in the Archdiocese of St. Louis in 2019. My education continues to this day through reading and additional coursework and as my knowledge grows, so does my love of our wonderful faith. I look forward to sharing some of my experiences with you.
God’s blessings on your intentions.
