He has two sisters have moved to Phoenix, AZ, his youngest sister died in 2013. He was ordained for the Archdiocese in 1987, and served for three years as Associate Pastor at St. Helen Church in Dayton before leaving for further studies in St. Louis, MO. He returned to Cincinnati and began teaching at the Athenaeum of Ohio/Mt. St. Mary’s Seminary for nine years, while being the Sunday Associate at St. Andrew, Milford.
He served again in Dayton in an urban parish region which grew to three parishes: Our Lady of Mercy, Queen of Martyrs, and Corpus Christi. Following ten years in Dayton he arrived at St. Veronica Church in 2010, and St. John Fisher was added to his assignment in 2017, as that Pastoral Region was implemented. Now, in 2022, we begin our Family of Parishes with St. Andrew, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and St. Veronica. He is very excited about the possibilities that we face as a church in the world today. He believes that one of his primary responsibilities is to foster unity within within and between our parishes. Additionally, our parish community works to be of service to the broader community through our acts of charity and concern for others, especially the poor among us. Here, all are welcome.
