"...I can highly recommend Dan Sakraida. He has strong ministerial sense,
a fervent commitment to the Church, and a solid understanding of Scriptural
proclamation. The Table of the Word feeds the people of God as well as the
Table of the Eucharist. We need to make sure that this 'food' is well prepared.
A training session with Dan will help in that preparation and enhance the spiritual
and intellectual preparation of all ministers of the Word."
