Hello,

I came to Holy Spirit in 2007. I recently celebrated my 21st year of priesthood, having been ordained in June of 2001. This is my second pastorate.

I was a late calling to the priesthood, at age 51. I attended seminary at Sacred Heart School of Theology, a second-career vocation seminary in Hales Corners, Wisconsin. I grew up in Dearborn, Michigan and came from a small family; mom, dad, and a brother Gary. I was blessed with 12 years of Catholic Education but the idea of becoming a priest never occurred to me until I was 40 years old.

I have two cats that help keep me company up in the rectory. Aside from that I have a small boat and a kayak that provide for some recreation.

Fr. John
