I studied at St. John Vianney Seminary and graduated in 1988 with a double major in Theology and Philosophy. I then applied and was accepted to be further formed at St. Paul Seminary and was ordained a transitional deacon on Dec. 7, 1991, and then ordained a priest on May 30, 1992. I first served as a Parochial Vicar at Holy Spirit, St. Paul, and taught part time at Cretin Derham High School. Then I served at St. Raphael in Crystal, about 3 years; 10 years at Our Lady of the Prairie, Belle Plaine; about 4 years as Parochial Vicar at our mission parish in San Felix, Venezuela; 4 years at Immaculate Conception, Lonsdale, and I have since helped out at many cluster parishes until being assigned as Parochial Vicar at the parishes of St. Albert and St. Michael. I look forward to growing with you through the gift of the Holy Spirit.
