I started this podcast on Oct 7, 2020, the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. It was during the pandemic and like many people, I just felt like I needed more. I started praying the Rosary with others regularly at a small, beautiful grotto at our church. Many thanks to Kathy for organizing that. But here in Wisconsin, praying outdoors gets to be more of a challenge in the cold winter months. So as those prayers wrapped up in the fall, I decided to turn on my camera and microphone and I started praying the rosary with others online.
About Me
My name is Scott Crevier and I'm a lifelong Catholic. My faith was nurtured at some pretty cool Catholic schools:
- St. Elizabeth Elementary School, Pittsburgh, PA (Grades 2, 3, 4)
- St. Jude Elementary School, Green Bay, WI (Grades 5, 6, 7, 8)
- Our Lady of Premontre High School, Green Bay, WI (freshman year)
I'm a 3rd Degree Knight with the Abbott Pennings Council of the Knights of Columbus and I've been a member of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Parish in De Pere, WI for 27 years. I've been involved in many ministries in my life, mostly singing at Mass (since I was a kid). One of the most rewarding roles I've held was the 10 years I spent as a catechist at Our Lady of Lourdes, working with high school sophomores and juniors, exploring our Catholic faith together and helping them prepare for the sacrament of Confirmation.
I'm one of the organizers of the annual Rosary Run Motorcycle Ride, where a group of us bikers ride the beautiful roads of rural Wisconsin, stopping at five locations to pray a decade of the rosary at each.
I have many rosaries, the most special being the few that were handed down to me through my family. My favorite rosary, by far, is one that my three daughters made for me for my 48th birthday. One of the most special aspects is that while they were making it, I was also making a rosary for my mother, so they did not have access to my tools. As such, they used a traditional needle nose pliers. For years, when I would take it out of my pocket to pray, something would fall off. So I'd get out my tools and make the repair with a warm heart and a smile on my face. This rosary is rich with their imperfections, I love it so much. There is no other rosary like it in the world and I'm constantly in awe of the time and effort my girls put into making it for me. It's been a few years now since I've had to do any repairs on it, I miss that.
All of these experiences, a solid Catholic upbringing by my parents, caring teachers, faithfilled priests, thoughtful Confirmation students, along with an incredible wife and the most loving daughters a guy could want, have made me a rich man. Those close to me know that I often refer to my home as the "mansion", which of course is a place where a rich man lives.
I hope you'll be in touch.
