Dcn. Steve has served in the Catholic Church for the last 38 years through the Cursillo and Charismatic Movements, by directing Parish Missions and Youth Retreats, speaking at Catholic Evangelistic Rallies and various Conferences. He has served in mission work in Eastern Europe and Africa since 1991. A successful carpet retailer, Steve sold his business in 1998 in order to devote more of his time to evangelization and mission within the Church. Ever since that time, he has steadily increased his ministry within his home diocese of Lansing, Michigan by being ordained a Permanent Deacon for the diocese. He is also working internationally as a Country Coordinator for Renewal Ministries in Romania and Hungary, where he has led evangelistic rallies, and trained and supported lay communities in cooperation with the local bishops.
Dcn. Steve and Lucia, his wife of thirty five years, have raised six children, and live in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Lucia is a member of the Music Ministry at Christ the King parish, while Dcn. Steve is assigned to Transfiguration Catholic Church in Ypsilanti where he also works as Director of Evangelization.
