“There is a secret place. A radiant sanctuary. As real as your own kitchen. More real than that. Constructed of the purest elements. Overflowing with the ten thousand beautiful things. Worlds within worlds. Forests, rivers. Velvet coverlets thrown over featherbeds, fountains bubbling beneath a canopy of stars. Bountiful forests, universal libraries. A wine cellar offering an intoxi cation so sweet you will never be sober again. A clarity so complete you will never again forget. This magnificent refuge is inside you. Enter. Shatter the darkness that shrouds the doorway… Believe the incredible truth that the Beloved has chosen for his dwelling place the core of your own being because that is the single most beautiful place in all of creation.”
― Mirabai Starr, Interior Castle

Greg O. Perenich was blessed to have been born and raised in a loving and affirming Catholic family in the Clearwater, Florida area. From a very early age, he showed a precocious imagination and charismatic personality, which was expressed through his composition and performance of poetry, prayers, and piano music in elementary and middle school. In his teenage years, Greg “lost his way” in an restless yet fruitless search for popularity and pleasure, only to find his faith and indeed, himself again later on, through prayer, friendships, and the sacraments...even becoming a daily Mass-goer in college!
After graduating from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in Neurosience, Greg decided to pursue ministry and mission work. Though his ultimate desire is to become a Franciscan Friar and even, God-willing, a Catholic priest, Greg is currently earning his Master’s of Education and will be teaching both Biology and his passion, Theology, at St. Michael’s Catholic High School through Creighton University's Magis Program!
Greg humbly asks for your heartfelt prayers on his behalf as he continues to discern his vocation, especially during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and after receiving the Lord of the Universe in Holy Communion, the “most mystical, meaningful, merciful moments” of our lives!
