David Wright

Parish Business Manager

I’ve been blessed to serve in ministry for over 20 years. After retiring from a career in the private sector, I began serving in the Church as Director of Outreach and gradually stepping into roles in parish administration and parish management as the needs of the Church evolved. My ministry has taken me through three dioceses, including my hometown of St. Louis and time in Branson, Missouri, before continuing my service in the Diocese of Saint Petersburg. I’ve also had the opportunity to support diocesan leadership on a variety of administrative and special projects, work that has helped me grow both personally and ministerily.

Along the way, I’ve served as a parish consultant and later as a consultant at the diocesan level, walking with parishes as they navigate both practical and pastoral challenges. My earlier experience as a parish manager continues to shape how I understand parish life and the importance of strong, mission‑focused administration.

In all my ministry, I try to call upon God first and remain open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I trust that God provides what is needed for each moment of ministry. I’m grateful for every community I’ve served and for the people who have shaped my journey.
