  • Amazingly insightful.

    Father Spitzer is amazingly intelligent yet easy to understand (until he starts speaking about physics 😃). He is so insightful and speaks about a truth that will lead us to a happy life. Together with Doug, they make a great team for helping us to discern the truth about life and God’s plan for us.
