Matt entered the program and was one of two students to graduate from the inaugural class with a Master of Arts in Theology in Lay Ecclesial Leadership. He is very grateful for the many enriching experiences he had during his time as a student, including: a one year internship at St. Michael the Archangel Parish in Canton, Ohio; a summer internship with the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) that allowed him to work with Mr. Brian R. Corbin (Executive Director of Catholic Charities Services and Health Affairs) and reside with Rev. Edward Noga (Pastor) at St. Patrick's in Youngstown, Ohio; his time as an office coordinator for Walsh's Institute for Justice and Peace; and being selected to serve as a graduate assistant to Msgr. Lewis F. Gaetano (Director of Walsh's graduate program in Theology). Matt is excited about sharing in the ministry of such a vibrant community at Blessed Sacrament. He and his wife Kathy currently reside in Canfield, Ohio and enjoy hiking and biking at Mill Creek.
