About the Author
Freckle-faced kid from a Los Angeles suburb in the 60s and 70s. Boy Scout and altar boy, not immune from shenanigans and after school-detentions. Connection to the Catholic faith formed through the example of his mother and the religious in the parochial schools he attended.
Compassion, guidance, strength, kindness and understanding shown him and now reflected back in his service to God and his extended community. Never one to stand on ceremony, pomp or circumstance, his message resonates with a great cross section of economic backgrounds, cultures and ages. This is Father Ken.
Father Ken works with like-minded religious. In Los Angeles Sr. Margaret Farrell assists runaways and homeless teens with counseling, food, shelter and contact with family where possible. Sr. Mary Sean Hodges provides housing, finds jobs, and teaches life skills to prison parolees. Sr. Kathleen Bryant helps combat the scourge of human trafficking while Fr. George Horan’s restorative justice ministry works with those in prison and their victims. In Haiti the Daughters of Wisdom offer housing and education to deaf children, while in East Africa affiliated priests, nuns, and seminarians coordinate nutrition, education and health care over a large area.
