Dean Sands

Facilitator

Dean Sands (teaches in our Parish School of Religion grades 7-8) lives in DC with his wife and three children. He works for Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) in investment sales in commercial real estate. Dean converted to Catholicism 12 years ago and taught CCD at Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament for four years.

“I volunteer to teach at the PSR because in our public and private schools, in the secular media, and especially on social media, our children are being taught values and ideologies that have no basis in Church teaching. Outside of the Church, there is almost no teaching about God at all. I think that our children are spiritually hungry, and, for many children, the Church is the only place that they will have the opportunity to hear the Truth: There is a God who created the entire universe, yet He loves them and knows them better than they even know themselves. I want to teach our children the beauty of the Catholic faith and the eternal love of God. I want to teach our children about the sacraments, the Gospel, Sacred Catholic Tradition and, ultimately, the path to everlasting life through Christ.”
