I was raised here in Lemay, beginning my education under the good Notre Dame Sisters at St. Martin of Tours Elementary School, continued with the Vincentian Fathers my studies at the old St. Louis Preparatory Seminary High School South, Cardinal Glennon College Seminary, and finally Kenrick Seminary.
fter ordination as a diocesan priest in 1981, I have covered a lot of territory, starting as an associate pastor in:
• Immacolata in Richmond Heights,
• St. Dismas in Florissant,
• St. John the Baptist in South St. Louis,
• St. Sabina in Florissant,
• Our Lady’s in Festus, &
• St. Matthias here in Lemay.
Then as pastor in:
• St. Dismas in Florissant,
• All Souls in Overland, &
• St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish in St. Charles.
As this will be my tenth priestly assignment I hope that my varied experience will be of benefit to St. Mark in this time of transition.
Please pray for me and for all my brother priests both in our parish and the entire Archdiocese beginning new assignments.
