In 2013, he was invested into the RAIC College of Fellows and is a member of the Association of Preservation Technologists (APT) and Canadian Association of Heritage Professionals (CAHP). Having completed over 100 building projects for parishes in Southern Ontario, Roberto has developed significant expertise in heritage restoration/rehabilitation, liturgical design, facilitating the design process for sacred space, giving expression to theological imperatives within architectural form, and the integration of sustainable design principles for sacred space.
