Fr. Charles is the Pastor at St. Patrick. He is originally from Kenya, and is the youngest of seven children with three brothers and three sisters. Growing up in Kenya, his parents gave him instruction in the Catholic faith. There he learned to revere the name of Christ; to have devotion to Mary, the Mother of our Savior Jesus Christ; and to have great desire for God. There he also discerned his vocation to ministerial priesthood after much prayer and consultation with priest friends. He completed seminary formation at St. Mary’s Seminary in Houston and was ordained for the diocese of Dallas in 2013. He has served at St. Patrick Church in Dallas, St. Gabriel the Archangel in McKinney as well as St. Francis of Assisi in Frisco. He was assigned Pastor of St. Patrick on June 5, 2022.
