Sick Body. Sharp Mind. Unbroken Purpose.
Fr. Justin is an Old-Catholic World Communion priest, former organizational psychologist, and institutional chaplain. In 2018, a severe progression of Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) forced a hard pivot into medical retirement. While his daily physical capacity is strictly limited, his voice, wisdom, and passion for authentic spiritual truth remain vibrant and unwavering. This sanctuary is his personal space to write, speak, and offer pastoral accompaniment on his own terms, welcoming all seekers and showing up fully as his health and energy permit.
A Note on Ministry & Connection
While progressive disability and medical retirement mean Fr. Justin can no longer serve as an ongoing pastoral care provider, spiritual director, or seminary mentor, you are always welcome here. If you are seeking care, he is glad to help connect you with trusted Old-Catholic colleagues or community resources as his energy permits. His daily capacity remains focused on quiet writing, existing relationships, and volunteer advocacy.
