After three years of classes, on June 1, 1985 I was ordained to
the Deaconate by Bishop Anthony M. Pilla. I have been a member
of St. Francis de Sales since 1959.
I also married my wife Maureen at St.Francis de Sales on February, 15,
1958. We have four adopted children and seven grand children. I am
retired from the Cleveland Fire Department.
As a Deacon at St. Francis de Sales I am involved in the Pre-Cana Program
with my wife and also preach at masses, do baptism, funerals, weddings, help in the
RCIA program and the PSR program. I am also the Spiritual Director for the Holy
Name Society and a Friar for the Arch-Bishop Hoban 4th degree Knights of Columbus
Assembly.
Miss Michelle Nowakowski ( Principal )
Gerry Mass ( Director of Music )
After a thirty-year absence, I was delighted to return to my home parish of
St. Francis de Sales in October of 2002 (I served as organist here from
1968-1972 when I was in music school at Baldwin-Wallace College).
I attended our Parish school in the 1950's and 1960's and, since my return
to St. Francis de Sales, have been so happy to see so many familiar faces
(and friends) once again. This has been a very happy re-uniting for me!
