He was ordained a Deacon on April 29, 2023 and served as the chaplain at Saint Martin’s Episcopal Student Center at the University of Arkansas. He was ordained a Priest on December 16, 2023. He served as the Rector at Saint Mary’s in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania and as the Transitional Associate at Saint James Episcopal in Montclair, New Jersey. He and his husband José have been married for 8 years. They have two dogs: an Australian shepherd (Apollo) and a shih tzu (Hera). They also have a black cat (Maya) who is the real head of the house. Fr. Casey is a wanna-be philosopher, a baby theologian, an amateur knitter, a professional foodie, and a coffee aficionado. He loves theatre and museums. In his free-time he can be found finding ways to save the world by asking deep questions and sitting in paradoxes. One of the things that helps him feel that God is near, is when we “live with confidence in newness and fullness of life.”
