 I am blessed to have served as the Pastor of Our Lady of Perpetual Help since December 2025.  As pastor I am blessed to be able to support our wonderful school ministry!  Our Lady helps its students to not only receive an incredible education, but to also learn what it means to strive to be a saint.  We are blessed to be able to share the Good News of Jesus Christ in our school ministry, while also helping students to learn all about the wonderful world God created and has entrusted to us.

I am a product of Catholic education myself having attended Saint Michael in Greenfield, Indiana for my K-8 education.  After high school I went to Indiana University where I graduated with a degree in Secondary Education with specializations in History, Political Science and Sociology. 
 
After college I entered seminary and completed my philosophy studies at Saint Meinrad and my theology studies at the Angelicum while living at the North American College.  I was ordained a deacon in the summer of 2012.  I spent that summer here at Our Lady. 
 

I was ordained a priest on May 18, 2013 and was an associate pastor for roughly a year in Columbus at Saint Bartholomew.  In 2014 I arrived in Jeffersonville where I served for five years at Sacred Heart and Saint Augustine first as Associate Pastor, then Administrator and finally as pastor.  In 2019 I was sent to serve as pastor at Saint Simon in Indianapolis and was there for six years.

Please pray for me that I will be a good pastor and know of my prayers for you!
