Bachelors in Education, Eastern MI University

I have been in Catholic Education for 20 years.  My favorite part of my ministry is helping  kids see their way over  the bumps in their lives through the lens of the Gospel.  I am honored to be a part of the St. Joseph Community!

Jesus calls us to love the Lord our God with all our heart, mind, and soul, and our neighbor as ourselves. St. Joseph helps our students and families do just that! Watching our students grow in knowledge and love is such a privilege for me as a priest.

I feel that the smiles on the children’s faces and the laughing voices are a visible sign of community faith and love here at Saint Joe’s.

Where else would you find an eighth grader taking the time to walk to class with a kindergartener? St. Joseph Catholic School has an unique environment where everybody matters to someone. No one is ever alone.

When we begin each day with the St. Joseph School Pledge we all say "I am a child of God." This phrase is woven into every action we take and every choice we make throughout the day. God is our center and the reason we are here together at school.

Here at St. Joseph Catholic School, I have the privilege to work with a warm, loving, faith filled group of students, parents, and staff who care about each other like family. In my opinion, there isn't a better place to work or worship.

St Joseph School and Church has been a part of me for most of my adult life. The words that come to my mind when I think of St. Joe’s is family, faith, and love. A wonderful place to learn, develop, and grow. A place I will always call home! 

The joy of going to work and being part of a faith filled and loving community of staff, students and their families is heartwarming and a wonderful blessing to be part of.  St. Joe’s is definitely a place where the seed of faith is nurtured and encouraged to grow.
