Our Spiritual Director for the 2023 weekend will be
Fr. Josh Livingston

Fr. Josh Livingston grew up in Northeastern Pennsylvania and graduated from Millersville University with a bachelor’s degree in Physics. Following college he took a job with an outdoor education company which operates middle-school camps during the school year throughout New England. Following his six-year stint of teaching Physics in the wilderness, he began teaching Math at a small charter high school in Dover, NH. In his third year teaching there, he finally decided to answer the call to the priesthood that he had kept putting on hold up until then. Six years of seminary later, two at St. Mary’s Seminary and University in Baltimore, MD and four at St. John’s Seminary in Brighton, MA.

Fr Josh was ordained to the priesthood of Jesus Christ in June of 2020. His first priestly assignment was as the associate pastor at St. Joseph’s Cathedral, as well as chaplain for St. Joseph’s Jr High School, Trinity High School, Camp Bernadette, and Camp Fatima. After one year there he received his current assignment as Priest Administrator at Our Lady of the Mountains Parish in North Conway.
