Affiliations:

I came to St. Perpetua in July of 1997, coordinated the religious education program for 2 years, and then became the Pastoral Associate in the summer of 1999. My responsibilities include the Infant Baptism Preparation program, Children’s Liturgies (once a month), Children’s Liturgy of the Word (CLOW), Adult Faith Formation (including Small Christian Communities, RCIA and adult confirmation), coordinating the Social Justice and Stewardship Committees, and other duties needed for the pastoral well-being of the parish.

I was born and raised in Zurich, Switzerland where I was an elementary school teacher before deciding to study theology. That desire brought me to the U.S. and GTU at Berkeley, where I met my wife, Kate. After receiving my Masters in May of 1993, I became the Director of Religious Education at St. Jarlath in Oakland. The sudden and unexpected death of the pastor left the parish in a state of uncertainty. As such, I moved to St. Mary’s in Walnut Creek, where I served as Parish Coordinator for 3 years. Up until October 2003, my wife was the Youth Minister and Confirmation Director at Christ the King in Pleasant Hill. We have three children, Andrew, Brian and Maureen.
