He’s also a graduate of the Water of Life School of Ministry, Class of 2023.

Joe has a heart for service and a long history of community involvement. He previously served as Treasurer for the Knights of Columbus at Our Lady of the Assumption in Claremont, where he also led their biggest annual fundraiser, the OLA Fiesta, for three years as Chair, Co-Chair, and mentor. He’s actively supported the Tijuana Missions Outreach Foundation and took part in several mission trips to Tecate, Mexico, helping build homes for families in need and participating in their yearly Epiphany outreach.

Currently, Joe serves with the Luke 9:12–17 Ministry, providing local outreach to the homeless.
