I coordinate the community's spiritual formation, liturgical life, and sacramental preparation. This includes the Catechumenate, the process that leads to the sacraments of initiation into the Catholic Church; the Confirmation preparation program; individual pastoral counseling and discernment; retreats; and Bible studies. My responsibilities also include budget oversight, staff management, development, and strategic planning.
I look forward to sharing my experience navigating Cornell and Ithaca College, having been a member of faculty at both institutions and a graduate student at Cornell. I also welcome the opportunity to share my experience of married life, vocational discernment, and balancing academic life with real life.
I love discussing the beauty and depth of Catholic theology, especially as it is expressed in the sacred liturgy: the coherence, breadth, and comprehensiveness of Catholic teaching are reflections of God's own perfect beauty.
