Chris Wood

My name is Chris Wood, and I am very excited to be a part of St. Joseph Catholic Church. Some of you might recognize me as the praise and worship guy Scott Anthony has used for the last couple of years. I’ve been a practicing Christian since childhood, and I converted to Catholicism when I met my wife Megan a little over 7 years ago. Shortly after becoming Catholic, I became the part-time Youth Ministry Coordinator at St John the Baptist in New Freedom. After a year there I was hired as the Facilities Coordinator full time at Holy Spirit in Palmyra. For the last 5 years, I have been working at both parishes. During that time, I also completed a 3-year program with the Diocese and became a Spiritual Guide. It has been a very busy handful of years for my wife and I to say the least. We have become foster parents in the last year and are looking forward to this new position giving us the flexibility and time to take in a wider age range of children in need. As I enter this new chapter in my life and this new position at St Joe’s I look forward to getting to know all of you. Youth Ministry is my calling and my passion, and I am honored to be given the opportunity to continue this amazing ministry Scott Anthony and his team built. Please pray for me, my wife Megan, and the Youth of our parish.
