Richard has been in church ministry for about 45 years – from volunteering in a parish to being a diocesan director and director of parish life to being a Director of Religious Education. He has two degrees in theology. His wife Catherine has been a catechist and a member of an RCIA team, and since her marriage to Richard has worked in Returning Catholics programs and has prepared children for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. They are enthusiastically preparing to move to Ketchum and will begin at Our Lady of the Snows on July 1st, when they will discern, with Fr. Ron and ministry leaders, how to best serve the community. Dick will be joining us as Parish Facilities Manager. He has lived in the Wood River Valley for 35 years, and was a banker for 40 years before retiring in 2019. Construction lending was his favorite aspect of banking. He considers himself a handyman, able to fix or repair many things; woodworking is a favorite hobby. He was married at OLS in 2000 to Shirleen and they attended the dedication ceremony in 2007 after the new construction. Dick is honored to be in this new position and looks forward to working with Father Ron and staff, trying to ensure that this wonderful, beautiful and sacred building stays in prime condition.
