    Director of the Office for Music Ministry, Diocese of Pittsburgh
    Senior Parochial Vicar, Resurrection Parrish

    Fr. James Chepponis is a priest of the Pittsburgh Diocese, ordained in 1985. Since 1996, Fr. Jim has served the Pittsburgh Diocese as Director of the Office for Music Ministry. His work includes providing music for all of the primary Diocesan liturgies, directing the Diocesan Choir, and serving as music resource person for parishes throughout the Pittsburgh Diocese.

    Rev. Joseph M. Mele
    Retired Priest
    Diocese of Pittsburgh

    Father Joe Mele was ordained a priest in 1973. He served in parishes for 35 years and then was assigned to leadership of ongoing formation of seminarians, deacons, priests, and lay ecclesial ministers for 11 years. Before he retired in 2022, he joyfully returned to parish ministry and became the founding pastor of Saint Jude Parish in Pittsburgh. Father currently assists in sacramental ministry at local parishes and occasionally directs retreats for clergy and religious, but he feels called to intercessory prayer, which he truly loves most of all. Father enjoys substituting twice a year for priest-friends in South Carolina and leads parish missions there as well. He loves walking, reading, amateur gardening, and visiting with friends, and he ‘intends’ to slow down long enough to take up golfing and water-color classes and return to playing his bag pipes.

    The 6th of 7 children, Fr. Rich grew up in the Greentree area of Pittsburgh. He has served in various communities as pastor and priest and now trains and mentors seminarians and deacon candidates and serves on the ethics board at UPMC Mercy Hospital. He has written several articles for the Pittsburgh Catholic and has authored four books: The Path I Walk (2013), Spiritual Stretches (2015), Graces Wash Over the Sands of Time (2017), and Faith Lights the Way (2018).

He became pastor of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Parish in Meadowlands (2011-20). During that time, the parish became the center of worship, religious education, and social services for the Latino Community in Washington County. He served for two years as administrator of the parishes of St. Patrick in Canonsburg, Holy Rosary in Muse, and Miraculous Medal, which became Oscar Romero Parish, where I served as pastor from 2020-July 10, 2023, when he arrived at Archangel Gabriel Parish as senior parochial vicar.
