Continue from page 1 1988 where he served until 1995. In 2015 he returned to St. Thomas and began his first term as pastor in 2017.

“St. Thomas is a special place. Parishioners here are diverse in nature, from many different parts of the world. They are dedicated, giving and committed to the Gospel and the Mission entrusted to them by the Lord to bring His message and joy to this corner of the world! I thank God every day for my vocation, and I thank Bishop Checchio for his confidence in me as pastor of St. Thomas. I am truly blessed!”

Every high priest is taken from among men and made their representative before God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. No one takes this honor upon himself, but only when called by God.

– Hebrews 5:1,4
