Theology of the Body Teacher Training

Learn the basics of how to teach adolescents and young adults the real meaning of the virtue of saying NO in a culture that conditions teens to say yes earlier and earlier. Fr. Thomas Loya brings a clear vision as to how John Paul II’s Theology of the Body gives a revolutionary insight of human sexuality. This is something which must be given to our youth so that they may be empowered to embrace the gift of sexuality and to know why it is worth waiting. Fr. Thomas J. Loya is currently the pastor of Annunciation of the Mother of God Byzantine Catholic Church near Chicago IL. Before entering the seminary he earned a degree and pursued a career in commercial art and design, after which he worked for a Church design firm. He completed his studies for the priesthood in Pennsylvania and Rome and was ordained in 1982. In 1993 he added to his Bachelor of Fine Arts by earning a Masters in Counseling and Human Services. He has worked on the iconography both of his present parish and of St. John’s parish in Solon Ohio. In addition to his duties as a pastor and iconographer Fr. Loya has served the Church in youth and young adult ministry and as an artist and design consultant.
