Ask Father Marty

Hi! I'm Fr. Marty Pable, a priest-psychologist and member of the Capuchin-Franciscan Order here at St. Anthony Retreat Center.

   I know there are many people, Catholics and others, who have questions about what Catholics believe--and why. Many others are "spiritual seekers"--that is, they may not belong to any church, but they are searching for something to believe in, to help them make sense of life and its stresses. They have questions about the existence and nature of God, about the Bible, about prayer, about the connections between faith and science, about ethics and morality, and so on.

   No matter where you may be in your spiritual journey, I would welcome your questions and concerns. I will not "preach" to you or try to convert you. I will respect your own process. I will simply try to answer your questions as clearly as I can and leave you free to decide your next steps. I am deeply convinced that God loves each one of us and will guide us in our search.

   To connect with me, just send your message to my e-mail address:  mpable@sarcenter.com   I may not be able to respond immediately, but I will do so as soon as possible. Be assured our communication will be kept confidential. Your messages and questions will not be posted to any bulletin boards or chat rooms. Thank you, and may God bless you.
