Now as a husband, a father of 3, and co-founder of SacredSpark, I have not only surrendered to following Jesus and His Church, I have made it my daily mission to help build up the Church through bringing people together in community and holy, virtuous relationships.

Like a lot of cradle Catholics, going to Mass every Sunday was just part of my life. I went to Sunday school, Catholic retreats, and by God’s grace, I never really walked away from the faith, but for a long time, I didn’t have a personal relationship with Jesus. 

Looking back, every step has come from the same place: meeting the Father with complete trust. And every time, He has done something bigger than I could have imagined.

I was born in Cleveland to immigrant parents from the Philippines. I was raised Catholic, and even as a kid, church gave me a sense of peace I didn’t yet know how to explain.

My name is Fr. Sebastian, and I was ordained a priest with the Companions of the Cross this past May 24th. Although I grew up Catholic I had a deeper conversion to my faith through Catholic Christian Outreach.

When I was 17, I signed a record deal in Nashville and began living my childhood dream.
