After completing seminary formation in Baltimore, Fr. Rick was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Baltimore, where he served in several parishes. After pursuing graduate studies in Rome (earning an STL in Sacramental and Liturgical Theology), Fr. Rick returned to the Mount as Chaplain and Director of Campus Ministry, as well as an adjunct professor in the Theology Dept. Rick was transferred after only two years at the Mount to serve at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Washington DC, in the Secretariat of Divine Worship (Liturgy), where he currently serves.
"I look forward to serving on the National Alumni Council not only as a way to give back to the Mount, which has given so much to me over the years, but to continue to build up the alumni community and to encourage pride and support for our alma mater."
