Shane Kapler

Picture
For the past 20 years Shane has been involved in evangelism and catechesis in the Archdiocese of St. Louis.  He has served on the core teams of both a Catholic charismatic youth group and LifeTeen program as well as coordinating programs for the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults and ongoing faith formation.  He was a long-time member of the Archdiocese's Retreat, Evangelization, and Prayer (REAP) Team and writes for Catholic Exchange and Catholic Lane.  He is the author of The God Who is Love: Explaining Christianity From Its Center and co-author of Tending The Temple.  He and Dr. Kevin Vost can be heard on EWTN Radio the third Saturday of the month (1-2 p.m. ET), discussing a variety of issues.  Shane also holds an M.A. in Speech-Language Pathology and is engaged in clinical practice. 

He vehemently maintains, however, that his "best gig" is being the father of two.
