Hello, my name is Bill Frantz and I am the Pastoral Associate.  This is my tenth year at St. Veronica, and I feel truly blessed to be part of this great parish.

As the Pastoral Associate at St. Veronica I oversee all facets of Faith Formation in the parish, direct the development of Small Church Communities and Parish Spiritual Renewal.  I also serve as staff liaison to the Faith Formation Commission,  the Outreach Commission, the Stewardship Commission and oversee the Coordinator for Children's Faith Formation and the Coordinator for RCIA.  I also serve as the Spiritual Liaison for the Athletic Boosters.

I have been in parish ministry for 31 years.  I have been a Pastoral Associate, a Business, Manager, a Parish Administrator, and a Director of Religious Education.  I hold a bachelor's degree in Psychology  and a Masters degree in Theology from the University of Dayton. In 2012, I completed a Certificate in Pastoral Administration from the Athenaeum of Ohio.  I am now in a Spiritual Direction Internship through the Jesuit Spiritual Center of Milford which will be completed in 2022.

I grew up in Sidney, Ohio and attended Holy Angels grade school and Lehman Catholic High School.  I am married to Jane, my wife, best friend and gift from God for 30 years.  We have 3 children.  Jacob who is married and is a high school history and social studies teacher in Louisville   Lillian, veterinary student  at Auburn University and Katherine, an undergrad at Western Kentucky University.

I live in Taylor Mill, KY and my family and I are parishioners at St. Francis De Sales Parish in East Walnut Hills.

In my free time I like to golf, go to FC CIncinnati games, read, play blues tunes on the guitar, and hang out with my family.

My dream for St. Veronica Parish is to become a vibrant parish, filled with people seeking to become intentional disciples of Jesus Christ as we live, teach and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
