Father Vincent De Rosa was born in Glen Cove, New York. He attended public primary school and Catholic High School. Studies brought him to Washington where he received a degree in International Affairs and History from the George Washington University. There, he discerned his call to the priesthood at the Newman Catholic Student Center. It was also there that Father discovered a love for young adult ministry. During university studies, Father worked as a Program Manager for the GWU Department of International Education, and on Capitol Hill for the US Association of Former Members of Congress.

After undergraduate studies, Fr. De Rosa entered seminary for the Archdiocese of Washington.  He studied philosophy at Mount Saint Mary, and Theology in Rome (STB - Angelicum, STL in Moral Theology - Santa Croce). He was ordained a priest June 14, 2008. Over the last several years he has been assigned as parochial vicar at St. Peter, and Administrator of St. Joseph and St. Francis Xavier, all in Washington. He has also served as Chaplain to the St. Thomas More Society of Washington, and several Knights of Columbus Councils and the Downtown Serra Club of Washington, DC.  

Some of Father De Rosa’s interests include travel, camping, hiking, cooking, architecture, orchestral music, art, and theater. He is also an amateur blogger, publishing reflections and some homilies on his website: www.eyesoffaithdc.com
