In May of 2005, as I began my priestly ministry in our Diocese of Orlando, I was appointed associate pastor of this beautiful community. In 2006, my pastoral ministry continued as I served other communities in Central Florida: Saint John Vianney in Orlando and Saint Francis of Assisi in Apopka. Since 2016, I have been serving as pastor to the family of Saint Augustine in Casselberry, and after nine years, our bishop, Monsignor Noonan, has asked me to return home.

I know that the Spirit has guided and renewed this parish, as every community grows and is renewed. Together with Father Nazaire, we will serve all of you with faith and dedication. Saint Catherine of Siena Parish is not only the house of God—Saint Catherine is our home; Saint Catherine is our family. Together, we will move forward, guided and renewed by the Spirit of God.
