I coordinate the community's spiritual formation, liturgical life, and sacramental preparation. This includes the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) at Cornell and Ithaca College, process that leads to the sacraments of initiation into the Catholic Church; the Confirmation preparation program; individual pastoral counseling and discernment; retreats; and Bible study.
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.
