Summary

As the Founder of the St. Francis Animal Stewards, I am passionate about animals and our roles as their Stewards, specially from a Christian and Catholic perspective. I love teaching people about how connecting to animals, we can open a window to the Divine because they are God's creation and they have so much to teach us. They can reach us in ways that others can't and speak to us in a language that is louder than words. Whether it be through Animal Assisted Activities in nature, through blogging or in-person dialogues, my vision is to get the message out that we are divinely appointed as Stewards of God's animals and creation, so we must honor them and their habitats by protecting them and being a voice for the voiceless.
