Happy Father’s Day everyone! We hope you’re all doing well! We’d like to spotlight one of our speakers today: Father Tom Bonacci, who talked about being vulnerable with God.
Father Thomas P. Bonacci is a Passionist Priest from Pittsburgh, PA who has ministered in the Diocese of Oakland since 1990. He is a graduate of St. John’s University, New York City. After ordination to the Catholic priesthood in 1972, he served as religious superior and Retreat Director in Pittsburgh, PA and New York City. In 2001, Fr. Tom established the Interfaith Center at Carlow University where he taught Sacred Scripture. He is the founder of the Interfaith Peace Project of Contra Costa County, a home-based educational outreach providing introductions to the religions of the world. Fr. Tom conducts not only the Interfaith Seminars for the School of Applied Theology in Oakland, California and the Interfaith Chaplaincy School in Berkeley, CA, but also adult education classes in Interfaith Spirituality and Sacred Scripture. Fr. Tom was one of the fifty worldwide finalists nominated in 2011 for the COEXIST award for his interfaith work. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Interreligious and Ecumenical Commission for the Catholic Diocese of Oakland, CA and the Interfaith Council of Contra Costa County.
