He is the chaplain at the West Seneca Development Center, near Buffalo, NY. In the early 1960's, as a social worker, he was involved with the street gangs and retarded people of New York City.

He describes his plans for future work as continuing to service the needs of the handicapped. ; "In 1993 Aurelio admitted to sodomizing 3 boys, ages 12-14, 15-20 years prior.
