Personal History
I was ordained in 1981, and have had more than 10 years experience in retreat
ministry. I am well versed in catholic tradition and Franciscan spirituality,
offering deep spiritual guidance to assist groups and individuals mature in
their faith. As a world-wide traveler, I honor world religions as well as a
multitude of cultures. I am “contemplative by nature.” However, my message is
full of life and joy.
I received my Masters of Divinity from Christ the King Seminary in East Aurora,
New York. I continued my studies in spirituality and preaching at St. Michael’s
College, Toronto, Ontario, and Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, Illinois.
Most recently, I studied at the Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, Texas
and St. Bonaventure University, New York. From 1999-2006 I served as spiritual
director and guardian at St. Francis Retreat House in Easton, PA. Presently, I
am a resident of Chicago, Illinois, and am available for bookings throughout the
United States and Canada. I hope that I can be of service to you and your faith
community.
As a Franciscan Friar, I have had the privilege over many years to preach and
teach religious congregations, parish missions, retreatants, and Inter-faith
conferences in Canada, Germany, India, Italy, Jamaica, Mexico, Pakistan and
throughout the United States. As an itinerant preacher I am at your service. I
hope that our paths cross on this faith-filled journey we are traveling.
