As I begin my new assignment at St. Ann's parish, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the good people of this community. I look forward to getting to know you, praying with you, and growing together in our friendship with Jesus Christ as we deepen our Catholic faith and seek to live as His disciples.
One of my favorite verses from Sacred Scripture comes from the Book of Revelation: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will enter his house and dine with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20). This passage reminds us that Christ is always inviting us into a deeper relationship with Him. Our task is to open the door of our hearts and allow Him to enter more fully into our lives.
I am a graduate of Allentown College of St. Francis DeSales and before entering the seminary, served as a high school science teacher at St. Michael High School. As a priest of the Diocese of Allentown, I have been blessed to serve at Cathedral of St. Catharine of Siena, Most Blessed Sacrament, St. Columbkill, and St. Jane Frances de Chantal. Most recently, I served as pastor of Our Lady of Mercy and St. Anthony of Padua in Easton.
I look forward to meeting you and walking with you in faith as together we seek to encounter the love of Christ and share that love with others. If you are visiting us online, I invite you to explore our website, learn more about our parish family, and, most importantly, come and visit us. There is always a place for you at St. Ann's parish.

My wife Ellen and I are proud parents of four lovely girls, one passing over at six months - little Shara Marie is always with us! Two daughters are married, one is single. We have five grandchildren - four girls and one boy. I am a veteran of the Vietnam War, having served three years in the USMC, and member of the MCL of Emmaus Chapter Unit 296. I was ordained a deacon on May 20th 1995. I served 11 years at Sacred Heart Church. I have been here at St Ann's for 12 years now. I pray that I have been, and may continue to be a faithful witness and disciple of Christ at St Ann's.
