There's nothing here!

Fr. John: I come originally from Boston, MA and entered the Franciscan college seminary after finishing high school in 1962.I professed my first vows as a friar in 1964 and was ordained to the priesthood on May 22, 1971. I earned an MA in religious education from Catholic U. in Washington, DC in 1974, and received a graduate certificate in homiletics (preaching) from Aquinas Institute in St. Louis, MO in 1992. In the early years of my ministry I taught high school and then served in various churches and parishes in NY and NJ. I was involved in the marriage encounter movement at that time, something which enriched my priesthood and gave me many life long friends. I served as a missionary in Bolivia for three years, thus I speak Spanish. I speak Italian as well. Since 1987 I have been an itinerant preacher. I have preached over 500 missions in both English and Spanish and have given several retreats for priests and sisters as well. Also, Since 2016 I have been a preacher with Unbound (See Unbound.org) My home base is St. Anthony Friary in St. Petersburg, FL
