I am thrilled to be living and working in my hometown, Cincinnati, Ohio after being away for 20 years. I attended McNicholas High School here in Cincinnati and have had many marvelous domestic and international experiences in ministry as a Jesuit for 24 years and a priest for 12 years. Presently, I greatly enjoy serving the very fine folks here at St. Xavier Church and beyond! 

As an Associate Pastor, I strive to create a welcoming and spiritual environment where people can feel valued, respected, and at home. I preside at masses, retreats, weddings, funerals, baptisms and prayer services, and I organize, develop, direct, design and lead classes for youth and adults. I prepare couples to be married and comfort the sick in hospitals and homes and offer spiritual guidance involving empathy, compassion, and listening to all ages, all backgrounds. Through it all is a promotion of the love of Christ and my desire to build a Christ-centered community.
