Author: Erich Wallace

Erich is from the massive metropolitan area of Merrill, WI and served as a Totus Tuus team member in the summer of 2016. He currently works at St. Francis Xavier school in Merrill as a Spanish teacher and 4K teacher’s aide (this is not a joke). He enjoys coaching high school and middle school soccer, playing most sports from basketball to ping pong, making dance videos that involve large wildlife, and deep belly laughing. His favorite saints are St. John Vianney, Pope St. John Paul II, and St. Teresa of Kolkata. He also really enjoys listening to Bishop Robert Barron’s podcast: the Word on Fire Show. Erich is pumped to be part of the Superior Disciple project that will provide an opportunity for youth to grow in their faith, that will connect the diocese, and that will help him grow in his own faith. Peace be wich' y'all!!

Evangelization in a Nutshell

By Erich Wallace. I have been learning about something really beautiful and how to go about it: our call to evangelization. I’ve had my ideas of what it should look like shattered a little bit, but they are starting to be rebuilt in the best way...

Touched by the Celibates

By Erich Wallace. I know the title of my blog is a little edgy with the sexual abuse scandal being a hot topic, but I thought it appropriate to share some experiences I have had in the recent months with some amazing celibate people and how they have affected me. I hope to show that celibacy for the Kingdom of God is not the source of scandal but is rather a beautiful giving of oneself to God and His Church with abandon...

Pro-Life. But Why? (Part 2)

By Erich Wallace. It’s good to be back writing after a long break, and I’m thankful for the responses to my last blog on the pro-life issues! There was a lot of support, but there was also some great dialogue from differing viewpoints...

Pro-Life. But Why?

By Erich Wallace. A few weeks ago, I attended the March for Life in Washington, D.C. with 76 other people from the Diocese of Superior and 650,000 people from across the nation. I have never really done anything “pro-life” per-se, except attend a “Right to Life” banquet several years ago because of a last minute invitation. Saying that, I was excited to get educated about the pro-life movement through this trip...

Is God Real? Is the Bible Credible? Is Jesus Really God?

By Erich Wallace. I hope you’re entering into the new year with renewed joy and passion for life. The Diocese of Superior’s monthly challenge for January is to remain joyful even amidst difficult circumstances, and I just heard a talk by Chris Stefanick from #SEEK2019 about how to keep “The Joy of the Lord” in your life. I have been trying to take these challenges to heart, but I’ve also been encountering the fact that many people are leaving the Catholic Church in our country and missing out on the opportunity to experience this joy...

Preparing the Way

By Erich Wallace. John the Baptist was destined to be one holy dude from the get-go. His birth was foretold by an angel, and the angel said about John: “He will be great before the Lord… and he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God, and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared,” (Luke 1:15-17). Not bad, huh?...
