About Me

My name is Billy Critchley-Menor. I am a Jesuit Novice living in St. Paul, MN at the St. Alberto Hurtado Novitiate. I have been incredibly blessed in my life to grow up in a loving family that exposed me to the Catholic Church and taught me its liberating message. I have fallen in love with this Church and am overwhelmed by the joy it gives me. Much of my commitment to Catholicism has been inspired by countless men and women who have lived lives of solidarity, prophecy,  devotion, and justice-seeking within the realms of Catholicism. This blog is dedicated to them and is mainly about the strength I receive from them. The Cloud of Witnesses has given me so much strength to stay in this Church and to spread its mission wherever I go. I hope you will find some inspiration from these stories and see what joy this Church can give.
