Hello.  Thanks for taking a peek at the staff page of Saint Theresa Parish where you’ll find each of us have said “yes” to doing our best to help provide a fruitful faith journey for you.

My wife, Mary Ann, and I moved to Belleview to care for elderly family members in April, 2022, and have joyfully made Saint Theresa our spiritual home.  I bring to the parish experience gained from a 40-year career as a third-generation journalist producing public and media relations and marketing communications promoting southern New Jersey projects, progress and developments.  My work encompassed the hospitality industry, nonprofit and professional service firms, largescale state festivals and national sports events as the proprietor of Publicity Pros, Inc., and as the Director of Media Relations of the Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Authority and Executive Director of a major visitor attraction.

While my communications skills were honed by my family of newspaper editors and correspondents and some of the best marketing professionals in the business, my college education was in Existential Phenomenological Psychology at Duquesne University, adding insight to effective outreach.  I subsequently spent four and a half years in graduate studies in theology associated with the Diocese of Camden New Jersey diaconate program and helped teach RCIA programs at local parishes as well as teamed with Mary Ann teaching sixth through eighth grade CCD for eight years.

Mary Ann and I experienced a true awakening of our faith in 1998, leading us to form Fatima Outreach Ministries, a lay apostolate providing complimentary promotion services for several parishes to help publicize church events, liturgical celebrations and spiritual activities, including the Rosary Rally of the Diocese of Camden, the annual diocesan Multicultural Celebration and the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe fiesta.  In addition, we helped produce and promote regional ecumenical-interdenominational events, parish missions, healing Masses, youth group events, adult faith formation programs and international pilgrimages, along with hosting a weekly Marian Movement of Priests Cenacle for many years.  Today, our calling continues …
