I was born and raised in the Bronx, moving to Tenafly with my family when in grammar school. I graduated from Seton Hall University and was in the workforce when I responded to God's call to become a priest. I returned to Immaculate Conception seminary (Darlington) then locate in Mahwah and was ordained May 28, 1960. My assignments have included St. Catharine's in Glen Rock as parochial vicar, Spiritual Director at our seminary and the pastor of St. Joseph Church, Oradell for twenty-two years retiring from there at fifty years ordained in 2010 . I graciously accepted Fr. Peter's invitation to live at Mt. Virgin where I assist in any way possible. It is a wonderful parish with wonderful people.
