He attended Cathedral College of the Immaculate Conception and graduated from St. John’s University in 1972. Charles graduated from Nursing School in 1976 and has been actively practicing nursing for over 40 years.

Charles is a 30+ year veteran of the US Army and Army reserve with 6 years of enlisted service and 24 years of commissioned service. Charles retired from the military in 2006, after completing his final assignment Chief Nursing Officer of a Combat Support Hospital. He has earned many awards in his military career including the Meritorious Service Medal.

Charles has lived in Florida since 1976 and has been a member of St. Lucie Catholic Church since 1979. He and his wife Diana have three children Christine, Melissa and Matthew and six grandchildren Tyler, Kayla, Logan, Ashley, Madison and Savannah.

Charles has worked with the local hospitals in the area since 1976 and has served in various roles from staff nurse and ICU nurse, to Vice President of Clinical Operations. Charles also served on the Board of Hospice of the Treasure Coast for more than ten years. In 2010 Charles opened his own Ambulatory Surgery Center Consulting firm with his partner Mark Rainis, who worships at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Palm City. The business is based in Palm City and Charles is particularly proud of the way his business helps Ambulatory Health Care facilities achieve and maintain safe and successful patient care.

Charles began his church life at a very young age. In the third grade he became an “altar boy” and served on the altar through high school. He had always felt the calling to be a priest, but God took him in another direction when he met Diana. He has always served God’s people through his vocation as a Registered Nurse and as an officer in the Army helping to bring the love of God to the people he served with and led. In St. Lucie you are very likely to find Charles working with engaged couples, bringing communion to the sick and shut-ins, serving on the altar during Mass, visiting the prisoners and bringing Christ’s love to them at Okeechobee State Prison.

Upon retirement from the Military in 2006, Charles began to look seriously into the Diaconate and in 2014 was accepted into the Diocese of Palm Beach Diaconate Program. After 5+ years of study and formation at St. Vincent DePaul Regional Seminary in Boynton Beach, he was ordained a deacon on September 7, 2019.
