General Description:

This presentation puts an end to the controversy over whether or not it is truly possible for men and women to see each other as God intended from the beginning.  Fr. Loya clearly demonstrates with the help of works of art and volunteers from the audience what it means to be a man or a woman living according to God's design.  We have a choice: we can either live in fear of our bodies and our sexuality or we can follow Fr. Loya's recommendations and live in freedom as sons and daughters of God.  The culture lends itself to a total devaluation of the body and sexuality.  Fr. Loya calls us to take seriously the power of Christ's death and resurrection and be transformed in mind, heart and body.  By living the theology of the body we will begin the transformation of our culture!

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. He has directed many retreats and has been a guest speaker at conventions and at World Youth Day 2002
