About me

About Me

(En Español)     A native of Detroit, Michigan, I joined the Augustinian Order with the intention of living in a religious community and of having the opportunity to work in one of our overseas mission apostolates. After completing a Masters of Divinity with Mission Specialization degree at Catholic Theological Union (Chicago), I worked as a missionary for nearly fifteen years in the northern Peruvian Diocese of Chulucanas. Ministry in this diocese was unique for its implementation of the pastoral program from the Better World Movement and its emphasis on basic Christian communities.

       I returned to the United States in 1989, worked for six years as Vicariate Coordinator for Hispanic Ministry in the Archdiocese of Chicago, and then assigned as assistant pastor to work with the Hispanic and Palestinian communities at St. Rita of Cascia parish on Chicago's South Side. I have studied Ignatian spirituality at Creighton University (Omaha), received a Ph.D. in Theology/Spirituality from St. Paul University (Ottawa, Canada).

       My past activities include facilitating retreats, such as the Ignatian Exercises (English/Spanish), in North Carolina and in Toronto, work with Hispanic and Native American ministry in the Smoky Mountains, and teach theology of the early Church (Patrology) in the seminary in Trujillo, Peru, two months every year. As of November, 2007, I will be in-residence at our House of Studies near Catholic Theological Union in Chicago.
