Born and raised in Boston, I taught in public schools in IL from 1973- 1979 while pursuing my Master of Education degree. I then taught in Catholic schools in NH and NYC from 1979-1986. Redirecting my teaching vocation toward Church ministry I worked for a non-profit pastoral consulting group named "The Paulist Leadership and Renewal Project" and trained pastoral leaders in the Archdiocese of Boston from 1986-1988. Then, desiring a more contemplative lifestyle, I joined a Franciscan monastic community in Arkansas from 1989-1990 and also worked at our retreat center. Next, I served as Parish Director of Religious Education in Davenport, IA from 1991-1997. After receiving my Master of Pastoral Studies degree, I chose to relocate to the Diocese of Rochester. I served as a Pastoral Associate in Corning from 1997 - 2000. In July of 2000, I joined the staff at SJR and I continue to enjoy ministering to the people of this wonderful parish!
