Neil Pezzulo
Bio: Born in Schenectady N.Y. and raised in the country (East Glenville) I enjoyed an idealistic childhood of riding my bike, building tree forts, skiing and playing hockey. The only interruption to these daily activities was school.
Ultimately I graduated college with degrees in Business.
After a 10 year unsatisfying career in sales I joined the Glenmary Home Missioners in 1992 and was ordained a Priest in 1999.
Glenmary is a Catholic community of Priests, Brothers, and lay co-workers who serve the rural southern and Appalachian regions of the United States. Places where the Catholic faith is small, often less then 1% of the population and poverty rates often double the national averages.
Since being ordained I have served in Arkansas as a missionary pastor, 1st Vice President of Glenmary, sacramental minister in southeastern Kentucky and currently as a missionary pastor in east Tennessee.
I originally came to the Wild Goose Festival through Glenmary's ecumenical efforts.
