Love Beyond The Vatican by Frank J Devito

Love Beyond The Vatican by Frank J Devito

Frank is a young and enthusiastic candidate for the priesthood of the Roman Catholic Church and studies in the heart of Vatican City. Like a lightning bolt, his plans are disrupted when he meets Sophie in Salamanca, Spain. He now struggles to decide between the two loves of his life: the priesthood and Sophie. Determined to live an authentic life, Frank makes the torturous decision to leave the seminary.

This decision is the beginning of an unexpected odyssey where he encounters the faces of love in his struggle to find his true calling. His path leads him to an innovative high school in the immigrant community of Chelsea, Massachusetts. As he wrestles with the meaning and purpose of his life, Frank is transformed by this absurd and sacred journey.

This book is a true story of the quest to discover what it means to be fully divine and fully human.

DeVito, Frank J.: - Frank is a former seminarian who studied for five years to be a Roman Catholic priest. He then entered the field of public education where he co-founded innovative high school programs in Chelsea, Massachusetts. For over 25 years, he has served as an advocate for educational equity where he has worked with schools and districts across the country to improve educational opportunities, especially for students and families of color in under-resourced communities. In 2008, after the premature birth of his three children, and the death of his daughter, he turned to writing as a sacred practice to deal with his heart's devastation. Writing is now his ultimate passion, and he is excited to be an author in the second act of his life. Frank was born in Boston and is proud of his Honduran and Italian heritage. He lives in Lynn, Massachusetts, with his sons Francesco and Leonardo.
