Father Silva will be joining our staff the weekend of May 14/15. He is a priest of the Archdiocese of Columbo, Sri Lanka, ordained in 1987. He has served in Columbo in numerous National and Archdiocesan assignments, most recently as a pastor and college administrator. Father has served in the United States as a counselor, pastor, and most recently, as a summer priest at neighboring Holy Spirit Parish (he is a good friend of Fr. Vernon). The Archbishop of Colombo, Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith, is sending Father to the Archdiocese of New York as a replacement for Fr. Madu for a period of 3 years. Welcome Fr. Silva!
