Get to Know Our Team
Hi! My name is Art Mize and I have been conducting the OCIA classes here at Holy Spirit Parish/Newman Center since 2014. It has been a continual joy to meet people where they are in their relationship to God and help to strengthen that with all that has come down to us from Christ and his apostles and the long wisdom of his holy Church. My own journey into faith has been very complicated, with many strange turns, moral defeats and oversights, yearnings and apathies, yet somehow perseverance and joy—all to equip me to listen and understand something of the varied ways the path can run.
We were made in the image of God to live in His love by reflecting that love back to Him and to all our fellow travelers. Come! Let’s work on this together!
In Christ,
Art Mize
