About Us

The Prairie Troubadour is named in memoriam of poet, song-writer and human of the Kansas prairie, Gerald Francis Kerr.

What is the Troubadour?

True-blue to Holy Mother Church building, The Prairie Troubadour is a group of friends inspired past the likes of Primal Newman, ChesterBelloc, John Senior, and other stalwarts of the Faith, to alive and share the Joy of Christ through stories, song and good red wine. Through our annual symposium, nosotros intend to create an authentic Catholic experience where the Expert, the True and the Beautiful are glimpsed through lively discourse punctuated by hostage prayer, toothsome food, potent drink and the existent mirth found in friendship. Catholicism needn't be stodgy and narrow.  Quite the reverse! As 1000.Thou. Chesterton reminds u.s., the walls congenital past the Church through doctrine and subject area are not the walls of a prison house, but the "walls of a playground."  And as Belloc wrote, "Wherever the Catholic Sun doth smoothen, there's always laughter and good red wine.  At least I've always found information technology so.  Benedicamus Domino."

Indeed information technology is then.  Allow us bless the Lord!

Dr. Gerald Kerr

1944 – 2015Patriarch, physician, poet, farmer, troubadour, true Kansan and lover of the prairie.Love husband, father of half dozen and papa to 31 grand-children.  Cosmic son.
