Mario Dealca has been with St. Coletta since 1989 and is highly committed to its Franciscan values and mission. His strong interest in the areas of pastoral ministry, spirituality, and special education has been greatly influenced by his brother who had an intellectual disability. Mario has a BA in Philosophy, an MA in Theology, an MS in Special Education, and a PhD (abd) in Special Education from UW-Madison. Mario’s personal, academic and professional background has given him a deep understanding on how to incorporate the roots of our Franciscan ministry into day to day delivery of our mission.
