Dtesh Catholic Place is a hub for Catholic teachings and resources, with a focus on promoting understanding of doctrinal beliefs and practices.
This website and podcast were created with the intention of supporting St. John Paul II, Pope’s call for evangelization. Our goal is to provide educational resources through blog posts, engaging podcasts, teachings, and prayer sessions to help individuals grow in their Catholic faith.
The founder, Doug Sumowski, is deeply committed to sharing his faith with others and guiding fellow believers towards Christ. Raised in the Catholic tradition, he briefly strayed from the Church during personal challenges before returning home. His diverse experiences have only reinforced his dedication to Catholicism and Jesus.
Doug holds a BA in Religion from St. Leo University (awarded in March 2015), was a seminarian for the Diocese of Belleville from August 2015 to August 2017, and completed a Master’s in Theology at St. Leo University by December 2017. Through his journey back to the Catholic Church, he has gained valuable insights that enable him to assist those grappling with different facets of their faith.
By elucidating fundamental aspects of Catholicism, Doug aims to fortify your belief and illuminate the rich offerings of the Church. While each person walks their unique path, no one need navigate it alone as we are all united on this spiritual journey together.
