Testimonials
"On the feast of the Immaculate Conception, at our day of
reflection, Paco spoke on our Blessed Mother. For those who
already loved
our Holy Mother Mary, their love increased ten fold. For those
who had concerns and problems with our Dear Mother, all their
questions were answered and doubts erased. For those who knew
Her not, their light was lit and the flame enkindled. We would
very much like to have Paco back."
~ Anne Bliss, St. Mary Queen of Creation, Choose
Life Committee
"Paco is enlightening, Spirit-filled and engaging! His knowledge
of the faith and the Church are evident in his presentations.
People from all walks of life will benefit from what he has
to say. He draws people to a deeper conversion and discipleship
in Christ."
~ Fr. Gary Smetanka, Pastor of St. Thecla parish, Clinton
Twp., MI
