Parochial Vicar

Hello everyone, I’m Father Joe! I have been in Cleveland all my life. I was born and raised in Brook Park and grew up attending Saint Peter the Apostle. I attended public school my whole life going from Berea High to Cleveland State University. After college I began to work and discern on a deeper level about what I was really supposed to do with my life. Discernment, prayer, and conversations with a few priests led me to Saint Mary Seminary on the Eastside of Cleveland. There I found a true home where I could dive deeper into faith and service.

My time in seminary took me to Saint Sebastian in Akron for an internship, many wonderful field education assignments, and finally to Saints Robert and William in Euclid for a year as a deacon. On August 1st of 2020 I was ordained for service to the Diocese of Cleveland by Bishop Roger Gries. I quickly began my first assignment as the parochial vicar at Saint Peter in North Ridgeville and chaplain at Grafton Corrections. In conversation with Bishop Malesic, I now come to Saint Columbkille in Parma. I look forward to growing with everyone in faith and learning together how to better serve. May God bless us and may Saint Columbkille pray for us!
