Rich Sauer is a scientist, a beekeeper and a good family man who once served at Madonna House with Catherine de Hueck Doherty. While at Madonna House, Rich learned about apostolic farming from Doherty, who wrote that she was "...engaged in the occupation of farming because we want to spread the Good News by living the Gospel, and there is no better place to live the Gospel than on a farm.";
Doherty believed that farming was a ministry or a form of worship, versus a source of employment. Rich views his honey collection in the same fashion.
Catherine de Hueck Doherty's cause for canonization as a saint is now under consideration by the Catholic Church.
By the way, Catherine de Hueck Doherty is no relation to me, but in faith, she is my sister!
