Thanks for sharing. Hope can use this for our future apostolate/ministry. God Bless your sacred mission!
Fr Stephen,
You are such a creative priest spreading the gospel using modern technology in this day and age.
As a graphic design student, I am particularly inspired by your presentation of gospel verses as graphic design presentations and your resources truly bring the gospel message alive (I am a visual thinker, so it helps me greatly in understanding the message).
I will let my parish priest know about these resources.
God bless!
