Fr. Anthony Dorsa

Contributor

Fr. Anthony Dorsa is from San Antonio, Texas. He was ordained a priest on the feast of St. Philip Neri May 26th, 2017 in Lincoln, Nebraska. Originally discerning a Franciscan vocation in his teenage years, it wasn’t until his later teens that he discovered the richness and beauties of the Church’s old liturgy. It was here that he began to discern a vocation to the priesthood centered on the perennial treasures of the Church’s liturgy. Soon he found out about the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter and entered Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary in September of 2010. Before Seminary Fr. Dorsa was a full time Cook for a gambit of cuisines and a hobbyist classical violinist, playing concerts even in Austria and the Czech Republic.
