Fr. Ross Kelsch

I was ordained two years ago in 2017 by Bishop Foys and was first assigned to Saint Timothy in Union. 
 
I’ve been in Northern Kentucky most of my life.  I grew up in Augusta, KY with my parents and two younger brothers where I attended Saint Augustine Elementary and Augusta High School.  I lived in Cold Spring for several years and earned a BA in Business and Technology from NKU.  During my time in Cold Spring, I worked for a local bank and was a music director for a local parish.  During this time, I felt God asking more of me.  So, after a series of failed negotiations, I “decided” to try out seminary and I entered Saint Vincent in Latrobe, PA. Which eventually led to today!
 
God works in mysterious ways, that is for sure.  I have been blessed in my first two years as a priest, and I very much look forward with great anticipation to what God has in store next.  
 
In my free time I enjoy playing the piano and organ (although I’m a bit rusty!), keeping up with technology and traveling to new places.  Food is also a good thing, too!  
 
Let us each “walk in love”, serving each other so that all of us can become fully who God is calling us each to be!
