I celebrated my 6th anniversary as a Catholic priest in the American Catholic Church in the United States on June 12. Much of my spirituality is rooted in the life and teachings of St. Ignatius of Loyola, service to the most marginalized members of our communities. Most importantly, American Catholic Church in the United States proclaims the unconditional love and compassion of God, which embraces every human person regardless of their state or condition in life. We acknowledge the primacy of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit to speak in our day through the "sensus fidelium" ("sense of the faithful") of the Catholic Church, leading to a world of justice and peace.
