I’m new too. I came to Holy Name last July after having served as Parochial Vicar the last four years at St. Mary of the Mills in Laurel, MD. At St. Mary’s I was especially dedicated to youth ministry, where I was the youth minister, high school chaplain, and confirmation preparation teacher. I was formed as an Archdiocesan Missionary priest at Redemptoris Mater Seminary in Hyattsville. I was born in Italy and grew up in Denver. I love the challenge of bringing people closer to God and understand the importance of and obstacles in the journey. I considered myself an atheist for most of my high school and part of college. I’ve come a long way but the story would be too long to tell here, I would love to share it with you some day. If there is absolutely any way I can help you on your journey I can’t wait to do it.
