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 as we make this transition.
