GREETINGS FROM FATHER STEVE

I would like to introduce myself as I begin my service as associate pastor here at Infant Jesus Parish. I grew up outside

of Wilmington Delaware and attended public school until eighth grade. I graduated from Salesianum School and then

studied chemistry at the University of Delaware. After graduating U of D with a B.S. in chemistry, I worked for six

years in chemical sales; most of that was spent working for Merck. In 1992, I entered St. Charles Borromeo Seminary

in Philadelphia. I was ordained for the Diocese of Camden on May 16, 1998 and was assigned to St. Lawrence in Lin-

denwold. I have also been assigned to Holy Family Parish in Sewell, Our Lady of the Angels Parish in Cape May

Court House, Our Lady of Hope Parish in Blackwood and Holy Trinity Parish in Margate/Ventnor/Longport. For five

years of my priesthood I was the diocesan coordinator for marriage preparation. I love marriage very much and try to

support it as much as I can. As a result, I have been active in Pre-Cana, Engaged Encounter and Marriage Encounter.

While in Cape May County, I was the chaplain for Wildwood Catholic High School and campus minister for Bishop

McHugh Regional School.

I have been playing guitar for 33 years and am a big fan of the Beatles, Bob Dylan, King Crimson, contemporary jazz

and contemporary Christian music. Some of our parishioners have already met my African Grey parrot Gabriella in

the office. I have had Gabriella since she was two months, and she will be 19 in October. Gabriella’s vocabulary is

over 200 words. She is adjusting very well to the new assignment.

I am excited about being part of Infant Jesus Parish. The parish is known for being very much alive, and that has been

confirmed for me since I have been here.

St. John Vianney (1786-1859) Ordained a priest in 1815 and later made the parish priest of Ars, he is commonly

known as the “Cure of Ars”. His reputation grew as a confessor and director of souls throughout the Christian world so much that he spent many hours every day in the confessional. He lived a life of torment and mortification which resulted in him

having great patience. Saint John Vianney was a true child of God in his simplicity and performed many works of charity and love guiding God’s lost sheep back to the

fold. He passed away on August 4, 1859 which is his Feast Day.
