(taped by phone 01/20/07)

BIO: Mark Pacione has been the Director for the Division of Youth and Young Adult Ministries in the Archdiocese of Baltimore for over two decades. Beyond an office staff of six, he also watches over college campus ministry and the Msgr. O’Dwyer Reatreat House.

QUOTE TO NOTE: Young people are my “holy door” always.  They are the door to what is holy. They are the door to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. They are the door to my faith. 

OBSCURE FACTOID: Mark is an excellent cook. Like many other productions in which Mark has been involved, his creativity and passions are multi-tasked until the final product is plated before you. . . always delicious, filling, and warm.

BEHIND THE SCENES:  Still learning as I’m playing along.  When this was taped, I only knew how to mic up the phone conference call, and did not trust the mic holding/ passing.  I’ve since done that twice, so the fact that this was taped while we were separated by our office walls now seems silly,
