At Vanderbilt University, he received his Master of Arts, Ph.D. in Old Testament.
Father Pacwa has taught at the high school, university, and seminary levels. Being a well-known biblical scholar, he has lectured at hundreds of conferences and churches around the world, and has appeared and hosted international radio and television programs. He is best known for his appearances on EWTN.
Father Pacwa is fluent in twelve languages and has a unique understanding of the peoples and cultures of the Middle East. Father’s extensive travels throughout the Middle East, Europe, and the Holy Land has inspired him to write the “Holy Land Prayer Book,” which has been published by his own apostolate, Ignatius Productions, and can be used as a prayer book guide for any pilgrim traveling to the Holy Land. Father Pacwa also has the privilege of being bi-ritual, which means he can also celebrate the Maronite Mass of the Eastern Catholic Church.
Parents' Essential Role in Homeschooling Especially During These Uncertain Times
Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, Homeschooling has been thrust upon so many parents. While it is an important and challenging responsibility, many parents feel ill-equipped to begin homeschooling.
Parents need not despair. Their position gives them an upper hand in knowing their child before they were born. Your knowledge of your children helps you as a parent fashion the approach to homeschooling that you should pursue with them. And while this path is defined by them to a degree, each parent should never dismiss the value of reading, logic, and primary sources as part of every student's curriculum.
