Fr. Dan Reehil

Father Daniel Reehil was born on Mineola, NY on August 4, 1965, to parents Dan and Gladys; he is the oldest of four children. His father was a NYC Fire Chief, and his mother was a court reporter after the children were in school. After graduating college from the University of Dayton, he worked in Global Trade and Finance in Manhattan for American Express and Citicorp for ten years, and then three years as the Sales Director of a Corporate Communications PR Firm.

In 1998 Fr. Reehil made a pilgrimage to the village of Medjugorje in Bosnia/Herzegovina. This was a life-changing trip upon which he experienced a miraculous conversion after being away from the church for twenty years. This is where the seeds of his vocation to the priesthood were planted when the priest who heard his twenty-year confession told him that he believed he had a vocation to the priesthood.



Father began reflecting on the emptiness of his life and praying for God to lead him. After September 11, 2001 he left NYC and moved to Boston with a priest that invited him to come and see the life of diocesan priesthood. The priest, Fr. Tom Dilorenzo, was the greatest priestly role model Fr. Reehil has ever experienced and it was in Boston that his formation to the priesthood began.



From Boston he entered Holy Apostles Seminary and began studying Philosophy. After two years of Theology, he left seminary to become a contemplative hermit in Omaha, NE. For five years he was formed in the radical life of the Evangelical Counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience. He then went back to seminary to finish his studies.



Near the end of his studies, Bishop David Choby invited him to Nashville to come and see Middle Tennessee. Both Dan and Bishop Choby agreed Nashville would be his new home. Upon his ordination on July 26, 2014, Fr. Reehil was assigned to St. Edward Parish as the Parochial Vicar; two years later he was elevated to Pastor.



On July 27, 2020, Fr. Reehil began his pastorship of St. Catherine of Siena Parish in Columbia, TN. He also began his role as the Dean of the South and continued with his ministry as the Exorcist of the Diocese of Nashville.

Patricia Sandoval

Patricia Sandoval is an international pro-life and chastity speaker who has traveled around the world since 2007 sharing her story of her three abortions, work behind the hidden doors of Planned Parenthood, and followed by nearly three years as a homeless drug addict. Her story is a testament to the saving love and mercy of Jesus Christ through the Eucharist and His desire to bring this world’s hidden dangers into the light for healing.

Patricia currently hosts a weekly television program, “Pro-Life Report,” (Informe Provida) on EWTN espanol, and is the author of the book “Transfigured,” which has been translated in several countries. Patricia most recently can be seen on the documentary, “THE MATTER OF LIFE”. She has also been featured in the film, “GUADALUPE, MOTHER OF HUMANITY”.

Fr. Don Calloway wrote the following endorsement for Patricia’s book: "Are you ready to read one of the most powerful conversion stories ever written? Seriously, are you? What is contained in these pages is about as raw, real, and riveting as a story can get.  This story is made for the big screen, and I pray it makes it there someday.  It's that incredible...The world, especially Catholics, need to know this story of redemption.  You are going to learn how the Holy Family and Catholicism have the power to transfigure any soul.  And I bet you're going to want to be transfigured to.”

Nikki Kingsley

What is the Truth? This was the burning question that led Nikki Kingsley on her journey from Islam to Christianity.

Nikki’s remarkable story began in Pakistan where she was born in a Muslim family. She arrived in America at the age of thirty with her two young children, seeking freedom from an arranged marriage, and discovered the promise found in the dream called America.

Nikki’ s life went through a dramatic turn when she had an extraordinary series of mystical experiences. These events prompted her to question and reconsider the Muslim faith that she had practiced for 40 years. Ultimately, this led Nikki to The Truth in the person of Jesus Christ.

A compelling speaker, Nikki now shares her life-changing story of faith and hope––a story of a journey from the culture, faith, and traditions of the East to the freedom of the West. She has been a guest on many Catholic shows including The Journey Home on EWTN, The Lila Rose Show, Ave Maria Radio, The Catholic Channel on Sirius XM, and a speaker at many Catholic conferences and retreats.

Nikki Kingsley’s dynamic account of her faith journey from darkness into Light is detailed in her book, Thirst for Truth: From Mohammad to Jesus, and can be purchased on her website at nikkikingsley.com

Fr. Antonio Musa, OFM

Fr. Antonio was baptized and raised at Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Franciscan Parish in Široki Brijeg, only 20 miles from Medjugorje, where he visited many times during his childhood.

In high school, Fr. Antonio joined a Franciscan Youth group led by local Franciscan priests. Their influence and the example of St. Francis inspired his religious vocation. After graduating from High School in 2011, he joined the Franciscans in Herzegovina. The first few years of initial formation he spent in Mostar, Ljubuški, and Zagreb, and eventually, he was sent to Chicago, IL.

He was ordained to the priesthood in Chicago on the Feast Day of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 2018. Ever since, he has served at St. Jerome Croatian Parish in Chicago. He currently attends Aquinas Institute in St. Louis, pursuing a Doctor of Ministry in Preaching degree. Fr. Antonio’s vocation and ministry are deeply marked by the presence of the Queen of Peace, whose call he is trying to answer every day.

Fr. John Lankeit

Fr. John Lankeit was born in Billings, Montana, April 24, 1967, but spent most of his life in Washington State. He began discerning the priesthood shortly before graduating from college in 1989 while living in Seattle, WA.

Prior to priesthood, Fr. Lankeit earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing with a minor in psychology from Seattle University. He went on to work for the Seattle Mariners Major League Baseball team in corporate marketing. Later in his 12-year career in corporate America, he worked in the coffee and high-tech industries, did corporate training, and late in his career was beginning to do voice acting on the side.

From the time he was very young, his faith in God was strong, though his catechetical formation was grossly inadequate, as was the case with most Catholics in his generation. Despite earning a comfortable salary and enjoying professional success, he found himself hungry for deeper meaning in his life.

In Lent of 2000, his job brought him from Seattle to Phoenix. A year and a half later, in Fall of 2001, he entered St. Meinrad Seminary to begin formation for the priesthood. He was ordained to the priesthood on June 3, 2006, at Ss. Simon & Jude Cathedral on the Feast of St. Charles Lwanga and Companions, Martyrs of Uganda.

After serving as an associate pastor for just under a year-and-a-half at St. Anne Parish in Gilbert, he was assigned as parochial administrator of Blessed Sacrament in Tolleson in late 2007 and named pastor there in 2009. On June 1, 2010, Fr. Lankeit was named Rector of SS Simon and Jude Cathedral, where he served until Easter Sunday of 2021.

Fr. Lankeit is passionate about the universal call to holiness, priestly and religious vocations and building a culture of life. He loves being a priest and is delighted to be serving as Parochial Vicar at St. Bernadette Catholic Church in Scottsdale.
