About Father Norm

Fr Norm
Cincinnati, OH, United States
A priest ordained for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati in 1970. After ten years of high school teaching, a few years as an associate pastor, and twenty-six years as a pastor, I retired from parish administration to write, preach parish missions across the country, and teach catechetical courses and conferences.
