WHO HAS A NEW JOB- HEAD PROVINCIAL OF HIS ORDER-CONGRATULATIONS!
Fellow Philly Home Boy Fr. Jim will be leading the men's Lenten/Easter reflection at the World Bank this week. Here is his bio:
Fr. Jim Greenfield, OSFS, is a regular celebrant and inspiring preacher at St.Matthew's Cathedral. A native of Philadelphia, Father Jim and his two brothers went to Father Judge High School, which was staffed by the Oblates of St.Francis de Sales, the religious order that he joined thirty years ago. He graduated from the DeSales School of Theology at the DeSales University in Allentown, PA, and from George Washington University, DC, where he was the Catholic chaplain for six years while completing his doctoral work in human development. Father Jim's present ministry is to serve as Provincial, leading his fellow Oblates to connect the Gospel to the lives of people in the gentle and humble way of their patron, St. Francis de Sales, Doctor of the Church and one of her greatest spiritual teachers. Father Jim also works at Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School, serving as its chaplain and a member of its Board of Trustees.
Running on the Mall is one of his favorite activities. Even more so is planning, together with his brothers, their wives, nieces and nephews, the 50th wedding anniversary of his parents, Bud and Nance, this coming April. Congratulations to the Greenfields on their Anniversary!
