Rev. James McNulty
Pastor
I grew up on the East Side in Harper Woods. I went to Our Lady Queen of Peace Grade
School and Bishop Gallagher High School. After high school, I went to Wayne State
University, where I completed three degrees. I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree with
a major in Psychology, a Master of Arts Degree in Guidance and Counseling, and a
Juris Doctorate.
I always worked full time while I was going to school. I worked for the State of
Michigan Disability Determination Service for Social Security for 17 years. During
my time there I was a Disability Examiner, Office Trainer, Quality Assurance Supervisor
and District Manager. After completing law school, I practiced law for several years
before entering the seminary. My last job was with the UAW-GM Legal Services in
Flint.
I went to seminary at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit. I did my internship
at St. Gemma and St. Christine parishes in Detroit. These two parishes recently
merged into St. Catherine of Siena Parish. My deacon assignment was at St. Daniel
Parish in Clarkston.
I was ordained a Catholic priest in June of 2003. My first assignment as a priest
was at Our Lady of Good Counsel, where I served as associate pastor for about 1-½
years. I was the temporary administrator at St. Agatha Parish until we closed in
August of 2005. I have been the Pastor of St. Priscilla Parish since July of 2005.
My parents have both gone home to the Lord. My father died when I was just a kid.
My mother died in 2001 and I still miss her very much. My sister Carol Hoffman lives
in Novi with my brother-in-law John and my nephew Drew. My brother Rick McNulty
lives in Connecticut with my sister-in-law Susan and my nieces and nephew, Sarah,
Zachary and Haley. My sister Lynn Roose lives in St. Clair Shores with my brother-in-law
Bill and my niece Delaney Doris and nephew Carson William.
We are always looking for ways to become more welcoming at St Priscilla. All are
welcome here! We do as much as possible to meet the needs of our parishioners. Our
weekend liturgies are the center of our Christian life. We do everything that we
can at St. Priscilla to make our Masses as spiritually nourishing as possible. If
you are looking for a parish home, we would love to have you as members of our Parish
Family. Please register at the parish office and get involved!
