Personal News from Father Nathan!
Dear Saint John Institute and Eagle Eye Community,
As you know, I have had the honor of serving for many years as a priest in the Congregation of St. John. My time with the Congregation has been a blessing. Beginning in the next few weeks, however, I will be entering a 5-year period (called exclaustration) during which I will discern a call to become a priest of the Archdiocese of Denver. This will not interfere with my current work as the president of the Saint John Institute, because the Archbishop has granted me permission to make the Saint John Institute my primary mission as a priest in the Archdiocese. And so, I will continue to travel and be as engaged as ever in our great work of evangelization at SJI. I believe God is calling me to this transition and that this new step will help the Saint John Institute continue to expand into a thriving platform for other teachers, evangelists, and presenters eager to spread the message of the Gospel.
The transition, which is taking place this January, will have no effect on the mission, the staff composition, or the financial status of the Saint John Institute as an independent non-profit, but you will see me wearing a Roman collar in the near future. Please follow this link to our FAQs for more information.
I look forward leading the Saint John Institute into a bright future in the service of God’s kingdom. I wish all my Brothers and Sisters in the Congregation of St. John all the best as they continue to serve the Lord. I humbly ask for your prayers and I am excited, peaceful, and grateful to take this next step forward with you all. Please see below for our 2024 list of events!
Christo Servire,
Father Nathan
