Joseph Nuzzi joined the staff of the Church of St. Francis of Assisi February 2007 as the Director of Evangelization.

Over the past 17 years Joe has directed our RCIA ministry, developed and led our Young Adult Ministry, our Converge Ministry, taught many Adult Education classes and took over leadership of our Adult Education ministry in 2021.

Joe is moving on to assume leadership of RENEW International in Plainfield, NJ.

About his departure Joe said, “This was a very difficult decision for me to make.  I love the Church of St. Francis of Assisi. The people of this community are truly loving and welcoming.  Working with the Franciscan Friars has been amazing, and I will especially miss my colleagues Meredith and Edward with whom I have been blessed to serve this community for 17 years.  While I’m excited for the work and opportunity that I am taking on at RENEW, this church will always have a huge place in my heart.”

We will say farewell to Joe officially at the 5 PM Mass on Sunday, August 18th and his last day will be August 23, 2024.

Joe asks for prayers for success in his new ministry as he goes forward from the Church of St. Francis of Assisi.
