Welcome to our Parish!

I was born and raised in Laurel Springs, New Jersey. It is a small town built originally as summer homes around a lake. My grandparents made this their permanent home when the commute to Philadelphia became easy. We couldn't get away with much growing up because all our parents grew up together and the grapevine was strong. I attended Catholic schools from first grade through college. My job after college sent me to Jacksonville, Florida in 1973. I entered the Seminary in 1984 and was ordained for our Diocese of St. Augustine on May 20, 1989, and assigned to pastor Queen of Peace in 1994. I love it here! The Parish is terrific and Gainesville, Florida is a great place to live! God Bless You!
