ABOUT DEACON ANDREW THOMAS
Deacon Andrew Thomas is a graduate of Ringling College of Art and Design, and worked for four years professionally as a graphic designer, illustrator, and sculptor before entering Notre Dame Theological Seminary in New Orleans, Louisiana, studying for the Diocese of Baton Rouge for the priesthood.
After discernment, Deacon Andy decided his vocation was to the married state and is married with four children. He is a devout Catholic and currently the Southern Vicariate Generalist for the Diocese of Tulsa and Eastern Oklahoma. He has an M.A. in Theology and is a permanent deacon residing in southern Oklahoma.
Deacon Andy started Bonaventure Comics, with hopes to participate in Pope St. John Paul II’s vision of the “New Evangelization,” using comics to spread the Gospel message to our youth. Deacon Andy's favorite project, The Life of St. John Berchmans, is most special to him. Deacon Andy has high hopes that the rediscovery of the life of this great saint will inspire youth to seek true joy and happiness by growing in virtue and in love for Jesus and Mary.
The deacon's comics have been published by The Catholic Miscellany in Charleston, South Carolina, as well as The Catholic Connection in Shreveport, Louisiana. Our Sunday Visitor recently wrote an article on Deacon Andy's work.
