A priest of the archdiocese of Newark, I am Associate Professor of Church History in  Immaculate Conception School of Theology and Faculty Fellow in the School of Diplomacy and International Relations of Seton Hall University. Over the years, I have served in several parishes and also as executive director of the Seminary Department of the National Catholic Educational Association in Washington, DC. 

History has always fascinated me. After ordination, I received a Master of Sacred Theology degree from Union Theological Seminary in New York City, where my field of concentration was American Christianity. Later I completed a doctorate in Church History at the Gregorian University in Rome. There, I concentrated on American  Catholicism and Vatican diplomacy.-

On weekends I serve in St. Patrick’s Pro-Cathedral Parish in Newark, NJ.
