Dedication

This book, L’Alto Catholic Institute, and my own relationship with God would not exist without the prayer, selfless love, and support of so many. To those who have journeyed with me in this work, I express my deepest gratitude and dedicate this book.

To my parents, Jim and Debbie Glemkowski, for always believing that God has more.

To my siblings, Jill, Steve, Christie, Dan, Joe, Rene, Tom, and Clare, for your friendship.

To Monsignor Dan Deutsch, whose patience and witness have been a constant guide throughout the years.

To Elliot and Jessica Foley, for over a decade of friendship that has taught me about what God’s heart is actually like.

To Michael and Emily Bianco, who came up with the idea for L’Alto on Mount Falcon Trail years ago and for your steadfast support ever since.

To Mark and Laurel Balasa, whose generosity and counsel have made the dream of L’Alto Catholic Institute a reality.

To Deacon Keith Strohm, for his mentorship and for believing in L’Alto when it was still just a website.

To my children, Eva, Theo, and Elizabeth, who are my life’s greatest joy.

Finally, and always, to my wife, Magdalene.

God has created me to do Him some definite service; He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission —

He has not created me for naught. I shall do good; I shall do His work; I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place, while not intending it,if I do but keep His Commandments.

… Therefore I will trust Him.

— Cardinal John Henry Newman
