The Grace of Pentecost

“Renew your Church with signs and wonders as by a New Pentecost"
St. John XXIII

Welcome To My Website!

Welcome to my website! I am a Roman Catholic priest serving in the Archdiocese of Seattle. I was ordained on June 7, 1997, by the late Archbishop Thomas J. Murphy. I am currently serving as the pastor of Parish Family #32: St. Barbara in Black Diamond, Sacred Heart in Enumclaw, and St. Aloysius in Buckley. The Archdiocese of Seattle is undergoing a massive restructuring program called “Partners in the Gospel”. You can read more about this program by clicking here.

I have had to rebuild my website and am now using Realmac’s Elements software. I will be adding more sections in the future.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

This is my primary teaching tool for my parish family where I have the privilege of trying to break open the Word of God each Sunday during our celebration of Mass.
