Our guest speaker, Father Joseph Barbieri, originally hails from Toronto, Canada and is a Catholic priest belonging to the Congregation of the Passion of Jesus Christ (Passionists). He has been a priest for 29 years and is currently serving his fourth year as Director of Retreats at Holy Name Retreat Center in Houston. He likes to say he is “Canadian by birth and Texan by adoption.”
Father Joe has had an on-going interest in astronomy and photography and has recently combined the two hobbies, making small steps into the realm of astrophotography.
The viewing and photography of deep sky objects such as nebulae, galaxies and star clusters nourish his on-going search for the God “who calls each star by name.”
He enjoys sharing his photos with others and participating in the amazement they experience when faced with the beauty of the cosmos.
We hope you will join us for the astronomical opportunity to learn about this unique photography field and enjoy his beautiful photos.
