Fr. Marty, from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was ordained a priest in 1988 and served in parishes and high schools throughout central Pennsylvania.  He holds two master's degrees from the Philadelphia Theological Seminary of Saint Charles Borromeo and a bachelor's degree from the Seminary of Saint Pius X in Erlanger, Ky.  He also has studied Family Therapy and Pastoral Counseling at LaSalle University in Philadelphia.

In 1998 he was appointed Chaplain and Catholic Campus Minister at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, PA.  Since June 2007, Fr. Marty has been the Executive Director for the Catholic Campus Ministry Association (CCMA) headquartered in Cincinnati.

Fr. Marty will maintain his current position at CCMA and pastor the parishes as well.  He comes with a wealth of resources in national programming for young adult ministry, evangelization, and strategic planning.  "I am coming from a shared leadership model. I am excited to come to the parish as your pastor.  It will be a very exciting way to begin my 20th Anniversary of Priesthood," said Fr. Marty.  

Fr. Marty will reside in the rectory at Holy Cross-Immaculata.

A Pastor Transition Team has been formed and will be working out the many details of the transition along with the staff and Pastoral Council.  More information will be forthcoming regarding a farewell party for Fr. Gary and opportunities to meet and welcome Fr. Marty.
