A devoted Catholic from birth. Currently serving as lector at St John the Baptist parish in Philadelphia archdiocese. Just finished participation in phase 2 of Next Generation Parish and waiting on decision for assisting in phase 3. Am married to my beautiful wife for 37 years and we have been blessed with a son aged 33, who is afflicted with ASD and Intellectual disability and lives with us. His afflictions have helped my wife and I to more firmly understand catholic dogma, become better catholics, lead prayer filled lives and great each new challenge we received with faith in our lord Jesus Christ.
