I have lived in Penfield with my wife Julie for over 35 years. We have two sons Matt and John and have been parishioners since 1986. “Service is the rent we pay for the privilege of living on this earth.” This quote by Shirley Chisholm sums up my mission. Penfield Hope is a ministry that provides services to those in need in the Penfield area and the greater Rochester community. Penfield Hope embodies the message of “love thy neighbor.” It is a blessing for me to “pay my rent” at Penfield Hope.
