For over 15 years, Francesco has been deeply immersed in bilingual ministry, leading music ministries, youth groups, and retreats. His journey began with his gift for music—writing and composing songs for retreats and arranging music for fellow musicians.

Faith, family, and music are the driving forces in his life. After graduating from the St. John Vianney Minor Seminary, he earned a B.A. in Theology & Philosophy, gaining not only a strong Theological education, but also a deeper understanding of his vocation to marriage.

Soon after, he met his wife, Veronica, who shared his passion for Catholic music and ministry. He served as the Coordinator of Evangelization and Parish Life for the Archdiocese of Miami before beginning his M.A. in Theology and feeling called to pursue full-time ministry in music and speaking.

Francesco is known for sharing the Faith through speaking and music in a captivating, relatable, and relevant way while remaining True to the Catholic Church and Her Teachings. His journey ultimately led him to start Fall Afresh Catholic Media, an Apostolate dedicated to spreading the love of Christ through music, speaking, and evangelization.
