  ...a familiar face with the Diocese of Biloxi.
  For over 50 years Father Joe has been an inspiration to our diocese providing wisdom and pastoral knowledge through his numerous roles as a traveling scholar teaching scripture during Holy Land parishioner trips, as a pastor on TV ministry, as a parish priest leading four different parishes, (including the Cathedral), and as a counselor and chaplain working with combat military veterans with PTSD. Father Joe remains active as a scripture teacher to over 50 participants each year in the New Wine program, a lay ministry formation program in which Father Joe provides a foundation in theology and pastoral skills for those who seek to be leaders in ministry.
