Son of Salavatore A. Riccio and Dorothy Reagan, Riccio’s father's parents came from Italy when they were young. His mother's parents came from Ireland, specifically Donegal and Cork. They settled in Steinsberg, a small area outside Quakertown.
Father Riccio was born in Quakertown and raised in Landsdale, he was baptized in St. Stanislaus Church in Landsdale. He went to St. Stanislaus Grade School for eight years and attended Lansdale Catholic High School. After his junior year, he entered St. Charles Seminary in 1956. After 10 years in the Seminary, he was ordained on May 21, 1966 by John Cardinal Krol at Ss. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Philadelphia.
His first parish as a parochial vicar, from 1966 - 1971, was at St. Katharine of Siena in Wayne. He then served, from 1971 - 1975, at Our Lady of the Rosary in West Philadelphia before coming to St. Francis of Assisi, where he first served from 1975 - 1981. He went on to St. Gabriel, from 1981 - 1986, in Norwood; and St. Cyril of Alexandria, from 1986 - 1993, serving as an administrator for four years. He returned to St. Francis Assisi as the Pastor, from 1993 - 2011. Currently, he is the senior priest living at Our Lady of Assumption Parish in Wayne.
"Serving God's people has been a lifetime of sharing and receiving (including) joy, happiness, sorrows, wonders, laughter, challenges, growth and deepening spirituality," Rev. Riccio said. "The Lord has blessed me many times in the priesthood."

H.E.L.P. Services Offered For FREE To Community
Ever wish you had a friend or relative to help you with some household or personal problem that you wish to solve? Well, you might be able to find such a person through a new program that St. James United Church of Christ in Havertown has established: H.E.L.P. The acronym stands for Helping/Healing, Educating/Enriching, Learning/Listening, Planning/Problem solving, and the H.E.L.P. program is the brainchild of Rev. Lynn Lampman.
Pastor Lynn has been at St. James Havertown for almost three years now, and among her many missions is for the members of the church to reach out and give to the community. Since so many at St. James have useful skills and talents, Pastor Lynn thought that H.E.L.P. would be a great way for members to live their faith while addressing the real needs of our neighbors. The H.E.L.P. program will connect community members with volunteers from St. James, and they will meet at mutually convenient times at the church’s lovely facilities at 135 Myrtle Avenue
If you want more information, please call St. James UCC Havertown at 610-446-3036. Someone will answer your questions about the program and help to match you with a “talent sharer” who has volunteered to help in her/his area of expertise. Our members have years of experience in their fields, whether it be organizing your personal finances, writing a new resume, finding the right college for yourself or your child, supporting you through a difficult patch, helping you find and develop a new and satisfying hobby, and many more. In addition, our volunteers are especially enthusiastic.
So, please give St. James UCC a call and find out more. We are confident that we can H.E.L.P.
