In this fascinating episode, Adamo Manfra passionately speaks about the Catholic view on the importance of FAMILY. 

Adamo Manfra is the Director of Stewardship and Engagement at Catholic Leadership Institute. He is responsible for supporting their various leadership and advisory boards and volunteer leadership as well as thanking and stewarding their generous community of supporters. 

 After earning a B.S. in psychology with a minor in mathematics from the University of Texas, Adamo spent 6 ½ years as an active-duty U.S. Marine Corps officer, which included a deployment to Afghanistan in 2012. It was in Afghanistan that he discerned the call to leave active service to pursue full-time graduate theological studies, which took him to Washington, D.C. 

 With a background in military leadership, a vigorous education in Catholic theology, and a love for Christ and the Church, Adamo has a passion for serving the Church and a particular interest in Christ-like leadership, the importance of the family, and the value of a proper understanding of and appreciation for the common good both in the Church and society.

 His vocation, and great blessing, is being a husband and father. He and his wife, Mary, live in southeast PA with their young daughter.
