Doug permission to be ordained Catholic priest. He presently serves at St. Vincent de Paul Church in Denver and teaches Homiletics at St. John Vianney Seminary.  Fr. Doug serves as a National Chaplain with FOCUS – the Fellowship of Catholic University Students.

Fr. Doug serves on the board of the Mary Mother of God (Russian) Mission –
