 A recent photo of Dave. It can be enlarged by clicking on it, only because he's such good-looking guy! |
The Easter rush and the end of the semester at the University have prevented me from getting back to the web site and class directory. So, I attached a current photo and here is brief update for the file... After Rhet graduation I spent 3 philosophy years at Catholic U. (Joe Carrol & Gary Passarino were classmates.) 4 theology years at Graduate Theological Union with the Franciscan School followed. (Steve Essig was my roommate the first year in Berkeley. I was slowly moving away from Stockton diocese and looking for a community. I moved to Rock Hill, SC in Sept, 1974 and joined The Oratory. I was ordained in 1976 and have worked a variety of ministries including a small African/Am parish, campus ministry and formation for our house.Currently I work for our Center for Spirituality (retreats, workshops, spiritual direction and organizing conferences), some campus ministry at a nearby state university and weekend liturgies at a nearby parish. We have lots of room for hospitality for anyone traveling in the Charlotte, NC area (about 25 mins). My family still lives in the Stockton, CA area where I visit a couple times a year. Jim Hennessy and I have dinner about once a year in Charleston, SC and trade Mt. View stories. |
