Priests in the Local News

My classmate and friend, Father Sam Esposito, was featured in a story in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Thursday, October 4.  He is an excellent cook, and is one of the eight "priest celebrity chefs" who will be recognized at a fund-raising dinner for the Little Sisters of the Poor Home in Pittsburgh on October 25.  Gretchen McKay captures his skills well.

I got the front page treatment in our local New Castle News on Sunday, September 29, for being installed as pastor of four parishes in New Castle by Bishop David Zubik.  A sidebar by reporter Dan Irwin also accurately quoted me regarding the issue of whether our parishes are going to merger soon.
