Who we are
Fr Frankie was a professional comedian before being ordained a Catholic priest in 2013. He compiled the books 'Does God LOL?' and 'Miracles R Us' and also ran a ‘Mercy Bus’ during 2016’s ‘Year of Mercy’. He has been our parish priest here since September 2018.
Fr Frankie loves running, watching sports and live theatre. His spiritual goal for Parish is, for parishioners to know more and more how loved they are by Jesus and Mary…and to be true disciples of Jesus Christ.
Keeping our church running, Maura works in our office and can help you with any of your requests. Feel free to get in touch with her!
