Religious Staff

We are blessed to have 8 members of the religious community present on our grounds.

Fr. John Mark McFarland

Rector & Prior

Fr. John Mark McFarland was fairly new to traditional Catholicism when he entered the seminary in the fall of 2006. In fact, only two years previous had he attended his first Latin Mass in September 2004. Growing up with the Novus Ordo Mass, he attended Pope John Paul II High School in Boca Raton, Florida.
Even though the name of the school suggested Catholicism, it did very little to sow the seed of a vocation. The religious atmosphere of the school was essentially non-existent. It was, as a matter of course, a nominally Catholic school, and nothing more. Following his graduation, Fr. McFarland attended the University of Maryland where he got a degree in history. Even at this time, he had no serious thought of a vocation. That started coming in September 2004 when he attended his first Latin Mass. 
He was ordained in 2012, and was assigned to St. Mary's Academy in Kansas, where he has spent 5 years in the Academy teaching, and assisting with parish duties.
He is also the chaplain for the men's Holy Name Society.
