Ahoy friends, family, and fellow seekers of truth (and carbs),

For the past two years, I’ve been creating weekly Pastafarian sermons—blending humor, philosophy, and a healthy respect for the Flying Spaghetti Monster. For 10 years, I have led the struggle in Canada to be recognized as a religion protected under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

This August, I’ve been invited to attend a Pastafarian gathering in Trapani, Sicily—an opportunity to connect with others in this unique global community, share ideas, and bring back stories, content, and insight to Canada.

While my accommodations and some meals will be generously covered, I’m seeking support to help cover:

Airfare from Canada to Sicily

Basic travel expenses (meals, local transport, etc.)

Documentation of the experience (for future sermons and potential documentary work)

This trip is more than travel—it’s part of an ongoing creative and cultural project exploring Pastafarianism in Canada and beyond.

If you’ve ever enjoyed my work, laughed at a sermon, or simply believe in supporting strange and wonderful ideas, I’d be grateful for your support.

And if not—may you still be touched by His Noodly Appendage.

Dove lo spirito è volenteroso, il Prodigioso Spaghetto Volante sosterrà.
