Father Christopher J. Iannizzotto, O.Carm.

 
 

 

My name is Father Christopher J. Iannizzotto, O.Carm. Currently I am the Parochial Vicar at Saint Simon Stock Parish, Bronx, NY. I grew up in Saint Thomas Aquinas Parish in Brooklyn, New York, which was staffed by the Carmelites until 2001. I entered the Carmelite formation program in August of 1998 and completed my BA in Philosophy and Religious Studies at Saint Thomas Aquinas College in May of 2001. I entered the Novitiate in June 2001 and professed simple vows on June 3, 2002. I did a two year Internship at Saint Simon Stock Parish in the Bronx, where I taught fourth grade in the Parochial school and assisted with other duties in the Parish. I entered Whitefriars Hall in Washington, D.C. in August of 2004. I graduated from the Washington Theological Union on May 2, 2008 with a Master of Divinity degree. I professed solemn vows on August 26, 2006, along with seven members of the Saint Elias Province. On December 20, 2008 I was ordained to the priesthood at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Middletown, NY.
As a member of the vocation team for the Carmelites, it is my deepest desire to assist any candidate who is discerning a possible vocation to the Carmelite way of life. I invite you to use this time of discernment to pray and reflect on your vocation, and I hope that as a member of the vocation team I can assist you in your discernment process. Please know that you are especially remembered in our daily intentions within our communities.

Rev. Christopher J. Iannizzotto, O.Carm.
