Peter Tassi
 Peter is a man with many ‘hats’. Writing, movie production and missionary work have been his passions in recent years, but the well-being and development of children and teenagers have always been driving forces in his life.
Before beginning his career as a writer, Peter spent many years in the music business producing and releasing top-ten songs and albums, as well as music videos, Peter began to move into writing. His writings are varied and include many genres. He would return home from work as chaplain and, after his children were in bed, he would use the solace of late night hours to create his new 'world' with the use of pen and paper.
Peter has had several books published, including The Beauty Within and Arousing the Soul, and has written several fiction books, including the soon-to-be-released Spoiled Ground (2010 Publish Date) and Hamilton Heroes (October 2009 Publish Date).
Peter has also been challenged to write feature films, and has written many screenplays, including "3 days" movie, which is now available for viewing on My Series TV. He also co-wrote, with John Cope, the musical theatrical play, "The Centurion," which is also available for viewing on My Series TV, and which is the story of the life of St. Paul.
Peter has written and co-written several additional screenplays, which have been ‘Optioned’, and will hopefully be produced in the near future.
Humanitarian and Missionary:
Peter has travelled to Haiti, Africa, Dominican Republic and Mexico to work with the missionaries for the Poor. Upon returning, thanks to the generosity of many people, churches and service groups, his community of volunteers raised substantial amounts of money for the missions. The ongoing process of this fund raising is accomplished through many ventures, including the use of documentaries written and produced by Peter.
While his committee has sent over $800,000 in this endeavour, it is a humble amount for what has to be done to conquer poverty. It is Peter's great hope that, through writing books, screenplays and theatrical plays, he is able to better serve our brothers and sisters in the Third World. Much of his fee and royalties are donated to the Third World missions.
Peter considers myself to have been blessed throughout his life with a wonderful family, great and true friends, three beautiful children and a career that has been varied and enriching.
- As a chaplain he has been enriched and inspired by students and teachers.
- As a writer he has had the pleasure of meeting and working with people who are creative and brilliant.
- In his work in the third-world missions he has been overwhelmed by the love the missionaries have for the poor and the love the poor have for God and the world.
He is grateful for all those who have challenged him to be a better man.

Filomena Tassi
Filomena is a wife, and mother of 2 teenaged children. Before being ‘called’ to the profession of chaplaincy in Catholic High Schools, Filomena Tassi practised Law for many years, including the establishment of her own firm with husband Jim Oliver.
The ‘call’ to help teenagers proved to be too powerful however, and in 1996 she left the law profession for a job with much less pay, but much greater fulfilment and satisfaction.
