Francis's Story
The Goodes moved to Ridgewood, NJ in the Fall of 1967. John and Paul Goode graduated from RHS in 1968 and 1970. Dave Goode attended Ben Franklin Jr. High when we first moved to Ridgewood, and he graduated from RHS in 1971. My father worked in Manhattan, and my mother cared for us kids.
I finished elementary school at Glen School, then Jr. High at Ben Franklin, then RHS from 1971 to 1974. There were a lot of wonderful people at RHS, and in my class.
After graduating, my family moved out West to Oregon. I attended Oregon State University, starting that Fall, 1974, and finishing Winter Quarter, 1979. A year of univsersity studies was spent in Mexico City, and in Guadalajara, Mexico.

m long before, was a special yearning. In 1979 I entered religious life in the Catholic Church, as a Dominican novice. As a Dominican student, I studied in Berkeley, CA, and one year of studies was back in Mexico City. In 1987 (twenty-five years ago!) I was ordained a Catholic Priest by the Bishop of Oakland, at the time, Bishop John Cummins.
My assignments as a Catholic Priest have been to Blessed Sacrament Church in Seattle, WA., Saint Dominic's Catholic Church in Los Angeles, Saint Dominic's Catholic Church in San Francisco. There have been other, shorter assignments, and these are the main places where I have lived and worked.
Today, I am serving as a Dominican in Eugene, Oregon. Come by and visit!
