John Ciribassi

About the Author

Hello! My name is John Ciribassi. I live in Mainesburg, Pennsylvania, in the USA. My wife Elise and I are parishioners at St. Michael's Catholic Church in Canton, Pennsylvania. We have two adult daughters. One lives in Senegal, West Africa with her 4 sons. The other teaches Anthropology at the University of Amsterdam in The Netherlands. My wife and I are both retired veterinarians, and my specialty is in animal behavior. I attended college and veterinary school in Illinois, where I met my wife who is from the Chicago area, and the rest is history! My hobbies include Racquetball, Pickleball, Off Road Motorcycle Riding, Hiking and Camping. I continue to enjoy the opportunity to offer what little insight I have on the scriptures. But I have always felt that the scriptures can speak for themselves. My job is just to shine a little light on them for people who maybe don't have the time to look into the readings deeply. I hope you enjoy and find value in my writings. I continue to be grateful for this opportunity.
