Interview with Priest reveals...

a nice guy who is devoted to your spiritual development. Reverend Charles W. Cloud, also known as Fr. Chuck, sounds like he has a Florence accent! But he developed that accent in Tucson, Arizona where he was born, and where he probably developed a taste for Mexican food (his favorite) "the spicier the better". The youngest of nine children, he is convinced that most parents save their best for last. It seems as if "parents practice until they get it right, then they stop having kids!" (Hey Father, they're tired by then!) He divulged that,"the most entertaining animal (he had) ever seen", was his childhood pet, a ferret. After graduating from Salpointe Catholic High School in 1981, he traveled to Camarillo, California and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal arts with an emphasis in Philosophy at St. John's Seminary College. In 1985, after attending Seminary at St. Johns, Fr. Chuck graduated with a Master of Divinity. Question: What do you like to do in your spare time? Answer: "...reading (sci-fi, horror, and history), computers, and history". He even admitted to owning an Atari at one time. Maybe I should let Fr. speak for himself... My favorite author is Stephen King, not because of the gruesome stories he tells, but because of his insights into good and evil. The best thing about Florence is that the parish is small enough that you can get to know everyone, not just a few families. What do I want to accomplish in life? I want to make a difference in other people's lives and bring them closer to God. ( I asked what would he like his obituary to say) What obituary? I intend to live forever! Really, I hope people remember me as a good friend...
