In addition to Fr. Jonas Shell, you probably have noticed a couple of new faces around our parishes: Paul Riffon and Tony Bruno have joined our parish family in campus ministry and music ministry, respectively.
Paul Riffon is the new Director of Campus Ministry. He is a graduate of Wheeling Jesuit University (B.A. Philosophy and Theology) and the University of Dayton (M.A. in Pastoral Ministry). His focus was primarily in Campus Ministry and Lay Ecclesial Ministry. Originally from Morgantown, WV, Paul is excited to begin the new academic year and would like to meet as many people involved in the life of the university as possible. He will be more visible in the parishes especially as the students begin returning to campus over the next couple of weeks.
Tony Bruno has also joined our staff to play and direct the choirs at the 8:30AM, 11:30AM, and 6:00PM Masses. Tony will be pursuing his Masters in Organ Performance at the University. He comes to us after several years as Music Director at St. Vincent Parish in Wheeling, WV. He will also play for funerals, weddings, Christmas, Holy Week, and Holy Days. His start date with us will be the weekend of September 12/13. Tony will meet with the members of the choir nearer to the time of his arrival.
Please welcome Paul and Tony when you see them around our parishes in the coming weeks!
