Jeff Arrowood is the founder of From the Abbey, a Catholic educational apostolate. From the Abbey helps Catholic adults rediscover the JOY of learning their faith so they can grow in intimacy with God. It offers online learning, home studies, and personalized help to bring you spiritual growth. Jeff also works with parishes to help them establish adult education systems based on research into how adults actually learn. 

  Jeff also works part-time for the Diocese of La Crosse Office of Marriage and Family Life as the diocesan Natural Family Planning Educator. He and his wife, Jodi, are both certified instructors for the SymptoPro online NFP course. 

  Of course, Jeff’s primary vocation is that of husband and father. He is a stay-home dad for his two children, Rachel and Dominic, of whom he would gladly show you pictures. He and his wife live and work in Somerset, Wisconsin, and are members of Saint Anne’s Catholic parish. 

  Jeff comes from an educational background. He holds a master’s of theological studies from the Institute for Pastoral Theology (currently out of Ava Maria University in Naples, Florida). He taught at a Catholic high school for 10 years, and has been giving adult educational programs for over 15 years. Jeff has a special love for Saint Thomas Aquinas, Saint Dominic and Saint Benedict, all of whom represent a dynamic, faith-filled intellectual life driven by a love of Christ.
