Father Rich Luberti, C.Ss.R., is a priest with the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (the Redemptorists), residing in Missouri. Fr. Rich received a Master in Religious Education and a Master in Divinity from Mount St. Alphonsus Seminary in Esopus, New York.
Fr. Rich’s pastoral experience is diverse and extensive. He has spent a significant part of his priestly ministry working with Catholic Deaf Ministry. He was part of the Southern Redemptorist Mission Team, preaching missions and retreats to Catholic Deaf Ministry across North America and beyond. His recent service as a pastor in parishes in Vancouver, British Columbia; St. John’s, Newfoundland; and Seattle, Washington, showcases his strong leadership and pastoral skills.
The Redemptorists’ charism is to “work with the poor and the most abandoned.” Fr. Rich feels that this charism melds well with Cross Catholic Outreach’s founding purpose and looks forward to promoting the ministry’s work around the globe.
