Santiago worked for presidents, now preaches in Jeannette

From The Pittsburgh Tribune-

For the Rev. Vicente C. Santiago, the road to the ministry has taken him from his birthplace of Puerto Rico to Washington, DC, and then to Jeannette as the pastor of the Church of the Advent, located on Clay Avenue.

Having been installed in June 2012, about 17 months ago, he responded to the advertised position, while he was the pastor of St. James Episcopal Church. After some rearranging, according to John Hose, church administrator, Santiago set up spiritual residence in Jeannette.


He attended classes in the University of Puerto Rico and, after earning his degree, he began to work in Washington, DC as an electrical engineer for the office of the President of the United States from 1976 to 2000. That is, he worked under the administrations of Presidents Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush on the design of Federal Buildings. He said, laughing, “It wasn't as exciting as it sounds.”
