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!!

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.
