Cleo , yes. Apparently there's family money there. Still turns some people off.

Priest at Mercy is the best. You could say he looks like the vampire in Van Helsing. But he also looks and acts like he belongs in The Godfather. Really nice guy in person, if Mercy wasn’t so far from me I’d go there every Sunday

Definitely over-pronuciates his words and is a little flashy. But, he is a solid priest who gives fantastic homilies.

I can’t stand Father Cleo. All he cares about is money and spending as much of it as quickly as possible. I stopped going to church there simply because I couldn’t stand him any more.

I don't know anything about him and how he runs stuff within the Parish or Church. He has been nice the few times I met him at the Christmas events and festival times. Just always hear the stuff about his car mostly

Any chance you are referring to Father Cleo Milano. Because father Cleo is a good dude but high maintenance.

Moscona was the President. Not the Principal.

As someone who rarely attends mass and lives where father cleo was once a resident, I will say this. I use to attend mass more when father cleo was here. Christmas mass would be packed when he was here. Saturday night, midnight mass and Christmas morning mass they had to put extra seats because there were so many people. I went to mass this past Christmas and they didn't have no one in the extra seat and the pews might have been.. maybe 75% full. Some of it has to do with the new priest, but at least Cleo put some production into his masses.

Let's be honest, it's a business and just like any other business you have to spend money to make money and the more people who goes to church the more money it brings in.

He was cool. Dude riding around in his benz, wears his black hair slicked back with just his left hand on the steering wheel.. He likes his wine as well and not just any wine, he likes top shelf.

He likes luxury cars and good wine.. He doesn't have sex.. So hell, who am I to judge a man who likes to drink the good stuff and likes to ride around in style?

If I would see him on the road, he would always blow the horn at me and give me a big wave. I know some people didn't care for him for the same reason you don't and because he always wanted everyone "perfect", but I think that's good management. He didn't half arse anything.

Moscona is the main reason Mercy has been on the up and up recently.


LOL... after Moscona arrived tuition increased 40-50%, don't have the specific numbers in front of me, but Mercy was under 4K and is now over 5k....multiply that increase x the enrollment, things better change...also hired a marketing/fundraising group to start an annual "appeal" for even more money. Bottom line is the parents' money is the reason Mercy is "on the up and up recently"

What happened to the current STM principal or did they give her/him the axe to bring in Moscona?

Father Cleo looks like ex Mafia who is now in the witness protection program disguised as a preist.
