About Me

I am a Roman Catholic priest in a religious community called the Society of the Divine Savior (aka Salvatorians). I was ordained three years ago at the age of 37. Prior to becoming a priest, I was a high school teacher and completed a Ph.D. in U.S. history. I currently serve as vocation director for my community, which means I work with people who are discerning a call to priesthood or religious life. The website of my religious community is www.salvatorians.com. My e-mail is [email protected].
