For the past 10 years, I have had the supreme privilege to serve as the General Superior of the Brotherhood of Hope. I can assure you that I never expected this honor to come to me. Well, as we know, life is full of surprises and my election to be General Superior was one of those.

Each person is uniquely born in the image and likeness of God; every person is a priceless work of beauty by our Father and creator.
