"I never felt a sense of abandonment; I never felt that God wasn't there. I see myself and my life of faith as intertwined with the Church but also as independent. It allows me to have questions or doubts and not have that lead to a wholesale rejection of the Church or of God."

Eric Krakowski serves as the assistant principal at Duchesne Academy, an all girls Catholic High School in Omaha Nebraska. Among other things, He directs their sustainability efforts and their international exchange program.
