Welcome

I‘m a Catholic Priest in the Archdiocese of New Orleans. Here I’ve been chronicling various interests including the Catholic faith, photography, south Louisiana, and my everlasting struggles with web design, fitness and the culinary arts; amongst other things.

Recently I retired this site, but will more than likely remodel it innumerable times while leaving its archives up.

A Few Things

  • I’m a cradle Catholic who fell away from the Church for about 20 years.
  • When the Catechism was published in 1992 I learned for the first time many things about the Faith I had never fully understood.
  • My understanding of religion had been based on childhood experiences, and I realized that I needed to grow up in Faith as well as other areas of my life.
  • A spiritual director working with the Sacrament of Reconciliation changed my life completely.
  • That taught me more about the Faith and the power of God’s mercy and love much more than any class I had in Seminary.
  • We had some awesome classes in seminary.
  • I still get nervous every time I get up to speak in front of large groups of people every Sunday.
  • I love the Priesthood. And despite a few notoriously bad experiences I’ve had the misfortune to suffer, I still love the Priesthood.
  • I was ordained in June, 2004.

Nowadays

Currently I’m a Parochial Vicar at St. Mary Magdalen Church in Metairie, with a great Pastor, Fr. Bob Massett. I still play music. And that’s it in a nutshell. That, and my favorite iPhone game is Scrabble.

Thank you for stopping by.

To live, to adventure, to understand the will of God…

Our soul waits for the LORD,
who is our help and our shield.
May your kindness, O LORD, be upon us
who have put our hope in you.
