The teachings of Saint Josemaria and his influence led me to take this responsibility very seriously. Living in Warrane College, I was able to mix with a good group of people and I am happy to report that, with the help of St. Joseph, I was able to find a great wife – Anne. We now have twelve children ranging in age from twenty one to three years old. This is my greatest treasure here on earth and one that I would never have thought possible without the influence of Saint Josemaria. It is a direct result of his teaching about the vocation to marriage and on being generous with our Lord in giving life.
