Ahuge thank you to everyone who votedfrommeagain this year.Itisareal honor and privilege to receivethe title of Best Clergy of Burbank 2018.

I am sure all the clergy of Burbank will agree with me when Isay it is atrue joyfor all of us to be in ministryserving the people of Burbank.

This past June 21, Icelebrated the 20th anniversaryofmyordination to the priesthood and havespent 11 of those years ministering to the parish community of St. Robert Bellarmine.

Each day is different and challenging as I walk with people on their faith journey.

Our Mission Statement says: “We, the Catholic community of Saint Robert Bellarmine, arecalled to shareasdisciples in the mission of Jesus Christ. Westrivetomaintain anurturing environment whereall arewelcome and all canexperienceGod’slove.”

Isee this statement being lived out daily by so many volunteersinmorethan 20 ministries who makeJesus Christ visible. Our love of God, amulti-cultural parish and the desiretoserve makes us arich and blessed community whereall aretruly welcome.
