Raison d'être

My Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

What is the Catholic Motorcyclist about? Through Baptism, all Christians are called to communicate the Good News, and this calling is not optional. A few are called to preach, to use words and sacraments to proclaim Jesus's revelation. Most are called to preach not with words, but through actions; their everyday lives, through their families, work, and recreation.

The Catholic Motorcyclist is a layman. He loves his wife and son. He is a parishioner of St. Patrick Parish at Columbus, Ohio. He loves the Eucharist and the Holy Rosary. He writes computer programs for a bank. He rides a Buell Lightning.

The Catholic Motorcyclist will not impress you with his knowledge of theology. He studies the Catechism, but is no catechist. He reads the Bible, but is no biblical scholar. If asked about these things, he will refer you to his beloved Dominican Friars at St. Patrick's.

Yet The Catholic Motorcyclist yearns to guide people toward the Church, our Blessed Mother, the Saints, the deposit of faith leading us to Jesus Christ and through Him the Holy Spirit and our Father. To this end, The Catholic Motorcyclist organizes group motorcycle rides to holy places in Ohio. So far, he has lead small groups from Columbus to the Basilica of Our Lady of Consolation at Cary, Ohio.

On May 2, 2009, the Catholic Motorcyclist will guide a group of riders from Columbus to a Festival of Praise at Franciscan University at Steubenville, a 300 mile round trip, including an overnight stay in the Steubenville area.

Email The Catholic Motorcyclist today for a ride map and other details about the Ride of Praise and Worship on Saturday, May 2, 2009!


May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. - 2 Corinthians 13.14
