In 1985, I was reassigned back to Mater Dei Catholic High School with residence at the Carlyle Healthcare Center as Chaplain and weekend work at St. Mary's in Centralia. In 1991, I was assigned as Administrator of St. Lawrence Parish in Sandoval, Illinois, and in 1994 was named pastor of the parish. In May, 2000, I was inducted into the Mater Dei Catholic High School Hall of Honor.
On August 18, 2001, I became pastor of St. Augustine Parish in Breese and St. Anthony Parish in Beckemeyer. I relinquished my pastorate at St. Lawrence, but retained my ministries at the Carlyle Healthcare Center (until 2022) and Mater Dei Catholic High School (where I continue to minister today). In June, 2005 I was named Director of Advancement at Mater Dei ending my teaching but continuing to serve as Pastor at St. Augustine and St. Anthony.
2025-2026 School Year will mark my 48th year of service with Mater Dei.
