I am pleased to announce the addition of our new FaithND Editor, Noel Terranova. Noel completed undergraduate studies at Villanova University where he received a Bachelor of Arts with majors in Theology and Liberal Arts and minors in Education and Business. He first came to Notre Dame to pursue the Masters of Theological Studies degree and specialized in Liturgical Studies.

Noel previously served at Villanova as the university liturgist in Campus Ministry and concurrent adjunct faculty member. He returned to Our Lady’s University as a doctoral student in theology and served as the Rector of Keenan Hall for five years. Under his leadership, the Keenan Knights won Hall of the Year (‘13-‘14) and Men’s Hall of the Year (‘14-‘15) and became leaders in the campus-wide GreeNDot interpersonal violence prevention initiative.

Noel is writing a dissertation on sacramental theology and hopes to one day be a “Double Domer.”  He believes that working as the editor of FaithND will engage his personal and professional passion for theological reflection and pastoral ministry. Outside of his work life, Noel enjoys cooking, eating, wine tasting, fine woodworking, fishing, and spending every possible moment with his wife, Jaclyn, and sons, Antonio and Vincenzo.

Noel will begin his role with us here in the office on Tuesday, July 23, and I am absolutely thrilled to have him joining the team. Please join me in welcoming him!

Sincerely,
Dan
