Fr. Reginald grew up in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Though baptized in a Protestant denomination, he wasn’t much interested in religion until someone invited him to mass during his freshman year at Thomas Aquinas College. He soon entered the Catholic Church and later discerned his priestly vocation. He initially joined a community of Canons Regular in California and then moved on to the Dominican Order. He has studied theology at the International Theological Institute in Gaming, Austria, and at the Angelicum in Rome. He earned his licentiate degree in sacramental theology from the University of St. Mary of the Lake in Mundelein, IL. He was ordained a priest in October 2016, and his first priestly assignment was at the Newman Center in Columbia, MO; he arrived here at St. Paul Catholic Center in July 2019. Ever since his first exposure to Catholicism in college, Fr. Reginald has loved traditional liturgy and Gregorian chant.
