Please join us as we welcome L. J. Milone to the Cathedral staff as Director of Faith Formation. If you did not meet L.J. at his March 2020 Lenten lecture (our last Lenten guest speaker before pandemic cancellations), you will have opportunities in the near future as he begins his work among us. L.J., pictured here with his wife and two of his children, sends his greetings in the note below.
Hello everyone!
My name is L.J. Milone. I’m from New York and have been living in the DC metro area for close to twenty years. I am very excited to be serving the faith community of the Cathedral of St. Matthew. I bring to ministry fifteen years of pastoral experience, a passion for mysticism, and a focus on living the Gospel.
I would love to get to know as many of you as possible. I am here for you, and for anyone who wants to experience the joy of the Gospel. I invite you to share with me your own hopes, interests, and desires regarding deepening your relationship with God and how the parish might help you. Once again, I am very excited to be walking with you on the way of Jesus.
Peace,
L.J.
