Kevin Lowry is a convert to Catholicism and the son of a former Presbyterian minister. He and his wife Kathi met at Franciscan University, where they discovered the richness and beauty of the faith. After spending time as spiritual nomads, the couple met Scott and Kimberly Hahn, and faced the inevitable. They entered the Catholic Church at Easter Vigil, 1992.

Kevin and Kathi have eight children and live in the Columbus, Ohio area. Kevin was with a large CPA firm for many years before taking on various executive roles, and now serves as Chief Operating Officer of The Coming Home Network International, an apostolate that assists non-Catholic clergy and laity on the journey to the Catholic Church and beyond.

The story of Kevin's conversion appears in Patrick Madrid's popular book Surprised by Truth 2, and is entitled "Son of a Preacher Man."

Kevin serves on the Board of Directors for Our Sunday Visitor and is President of the Columbus chapter of Legatus, and enjoys writing and speaking on many topics.

"We are all called to holiness. Yet finding our way to sanctity through the maze of the consumerism and secularism of our age is not always easy. Kevin Lowry's Faith at Worksheds great light on the pathways to a genuine life in the Spirit. This insightful and engaging book offers practical guidance to transforming the routine of everyday work into a life-giving participation in bearing witness to the Gospel and our own share in manifesting Christ's kingdom. This book helps us capture the joy of seeing the wonder of God at work all around us in the very things we do-how we live."
Cardinal Donald Wuerl, Archbishop of Washington

"Kevin's book is an important reminder that we are called to live our faith in our work, where we spend so much of our life. He offers wonderful insights centered on serving others, but does so by revealing an unwavering commitment towards keeping Christ at the top of one's priorities, regardless of the demands of the workplace. The recommendations and questions for reflection at the end of each chapter offer simple steps on how to put this book into action."
J. David Karam, president, Wendy's International, Inc.

"In our society, faith and work are often presented as things tht don't mix or shouldn't be mixed: et nothing could be further from the truth. In this book, Kevin skillfully shows how we are in fact called to sanctity in and through our work. Faith at Work is both poth practical and inspiring!"
Tom Monaghan, founder, Domino's Pizza, Inc., and Ave Maria University

"Too many Christians treat 'ambition' and 'success' as if they're four-letter words. They're not. For a Catholic in business, they can be touchstones of sanctification. Kevin Lowry knows that, and he shows us how to turn a career of nine-to-five into a lasting encounter with Jesus Christ."
Scott Hahn, Ph.D., professor of Biblical Theology, Franciscan University of Steubenville

"A source of both encouragement and challenge ... all Christians will benefit from reading this book and reflecting on the lessons of the Gospel applied to our everyday work."
Marcus Grodi, president and founder, The Coming Home Network International
