Before coming to the priesthood, he worked for a number of years in professional theatre and broadcasting, and continues to perform and has four CD’s available. He has presented concerts in Orlando, San Antonio, Austin, the University of Notre Dame, Scandinavia House, at the Musician’s Union in New York and in several countries in Africa and throughout Europe and. He received one of the first 3 degrees in theatre ever awarded by the University of Notre Dame. He sings in New York with Jazz at Noon, the Blue Hill Troupe, and the Amore Opera Company.

 

Among the solo shows he presents are From Broadway to God,( tracing how a singing actor ended up as priest who worked for 12 years in Nigeria and three in the South Pacific) and Sacred Songs and Silly Stuff (exploring the relationship between faith and foolishness). All his solo shows involve story-telling and singing, and all are family friendly.  Most of the music is from Broadway musicals, and the tone is light and funny, since, according to Fr. John, “Preaching should be done in church, if at all.” Father John does not believe that God will let him die before he gets to do a Broadway show.
