About Jeremy Priest

A cradle Catholic, Jeremy Priest is a Campus Minister at the St. Mary's University Parish at Central Michigan University. After growing up in a "just Sunday Mass" Catholic home, Jeremy had a profound conversion at World Youth Day during his freshman year of college. As Jeremy puts it, "I was taught as a child and believed that Jesus was God, I just didn't believe in Jesus." Reading and encountering Jesus in the New Testament, especially the Gospels, was central to Jeremy's conversion and remains a deep part of his daily life. After completing a B.A. in Theology from Marquette University in 2000, Jeremy earned another B.A. in Philosophy from the Pontifical College Josephinum in 2002. Jeremy is in the process of finishing an MA in Biblical Theology from the Pontifical College Josephinum where he is in the writing his MA thesis on the Feast of Tabernacles in the Gospel of St. John. He enjoys speaking on occasion and loves to spend time reading theology and watching baseball.
