Father Larry was recently ordained on December 8, 2021 by Bishop Cote for the Diocese of Norwich and assigned as parochial vicar at Blessed Sacrament Parish. He had been assigned to Blessed Sacrament Parish in the summer of 2019 as a seminarian, and again in the summer of 2020 as a transitional deacon. So many parishioners felt like he was coming home. Prior to entering the seminary in 2016, Fr. Larry was a respiratory therapist and manager of the Cardiopulmonary Department at the State Department of Veterans’ Affairs in Rocky Hill for 30 years. But eventually, he felt a calling to more. (His welcome video shares part of his faith story.) Fr. Larry received his Master of Divinity degree from Pope St. John XXIII in May of 2021. He is quite excited to immerse himself in parish life and ministries.
