Classrooms

How did I get here…

·       I was born and raised with my three brothers in Denver, Colorado.

·       Following a few summer missionary experiences in Russia, upon graduating from            high school, I joined the missionary community Family of Mary / Work of Jesus the          High Priest in Europe.

·       After three years of religious formation, and five years of university studies in                Rome, I was ordained to the priesthood on October 28, 2003 in Fatima, Portugal            with my oldest brother, Fr. Gregory White.

·       2003-2007: Responsible for the community’s house of formation (the novitiate)              next to our seminary south of Rome, Italy.

·       2007 to 2023: Rector of our seminary.

·       In July 2023, I was sent to the Archdiocese of Portland, first as pastor of St.                  Joseph the Worker parish, and shortly thereafter, moved to St. Therese where I              have been pastor as of December 1, 2023.

What I teach…

·       Well, hopefully what I have learned and practice! I teach the children about God            and His ardent love for us. Whether it is in the classroom or in the church,                      whether  I am speaking directly about Him or not, that is always my goal.

What I like…

·       Beyond the things of the Faith, I like woodworking and carving, gold leaf and                painting, pottery and just about any other craft I can try. I love power tools and              getting dirty.

·       I would be outdoors all day if I could. I never played many team sports, but I like          hiking, running, and swimming.
