Chavez is the founder and director of the Amator Institute, a full-time men’s outreach helping men achieve the fullness of their identity and mission. He maintains that each man needs to be solidly grounded in his supernatural summons to share in the three-fold office of Christ as Priest, Prophet, and King, in order to fully realize his Christian calling and build up the Kingdom of God. Secondly, he strives to forge an understanding of a man’s God-given natural role as Leader, Protector, and Provider for those in his care and periphery.

Fr. Chavez has studied, spoken, and consulted extensively about family issues and male spirituality. St. Joseph’s Communications has published a number of his recordings. He has made several media appearances, including EWTN’s program “Rome Reports” hosted by Raymond Arroyo.

Father Euteneuer holds a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy from the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, and a Licentiate degree in Biblical Theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, Italy. He speaks Spanish fluently.

While in college, Fr. Euteneuer participated in the Marine Corps Officer Candidate Program and attended boot camp at Quantico, VA, graduating at the top of his Company. After discerning that the Lord was calling him to the priesthood rather than the military, he entered the seminary. After his ordination in 1988, Father served as a parish priest in five parishes of the Diocese of Palm Beach, FL—as the Bishop’s secretary, vocations director, and spiritual moderator to the Respect Life Office.

Father Euteneuer’s pro-life activity began in the early years of his priesthood with prayer vigils, pilgrimages, pickets at abortion mills, sidewalk counseling and the establishment of a crisis pregnancy center across the street from an abortion mill in 1999.

Since taking office at HLI, Father Euteneuer has spoken to thousands of people all over the world, spreading the Gospel of Life, as well as making many appearances on EWTN and other local, national and international media. He has been featured in Human Events and National Catholic Register, and recently has been awarded the John Cardinal O’Connor Award for Life from Legatus.

He is a Co-Founder and Vice President of the Confraternity of Catholic Clergy, a national association of priests, seminarians, and deacons. In addition to editing its newsletter, Sapientia, for many years, he sponsored their annual convention at Gannon University for almost 20 years.

When the Catechism of the Catholic Church appeared in 1994, he pioneered the preparation of two widely accepted catechetical programs for use on the computer, one for grade school students, and the other for high school students in fidelity to this official catechism. In 1997, he wrote a popular catechism, Jesus, the Catechism, and Me, a condensed and faithful text in support of the official catechism. He co-edited John Paul II, Catechist, edited the History of Gannon University, has written regularly for the Canadian Challenge, National Catholic Register, Lake Shore Visitor, Catholic Encyclopedia, and many other publications. He has spoken often on theological topics across the States and in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Presently, he co-hosts the EWTN show Web of Faith.

Father Peffley was born March 16, 1963, in Norristown, Pennsylvania. His parents, William and Mary Peffley, reside there. He has two sisters, Edel and Natia. He believes his vocation was fostered in three ways: The example and inspiration which he received from his family, the spiritual and academic formation he received from Christendom College, and his involvement in the Legion of Mary.

Father Peffley’s interests and hobbies include juggling fire torches and machetes, golf, scuba diving, bowling, billiards, and baseball card collecting.

By the end of her teenage years, she had competed many times at the highest level of her sport. However, the moral struggle she encountered within the “ski world” was enough to cause her to question the course her life was on. Would she continue to rise through the ranks to become one of the world’s best, or would she give it all up to follow a convicting call from Christ to abandon it and chase after an imperishable crown? In the end she was able to choose both and set a new benchmark as an elite athlete by having her family travel with her to every race and training camp, displaying an uncompromising dedication to her vocation as wife and mother. She has appeared with her family on EWTN’s Life on the Rock and has been written about extensively in many Catholic publications across the nation.

Mr. Pearce converted to the Catholic faith in 1989 as a result of “becoming friends” with several 20th-century literary figures he researched who had been Christians and, ultimately, converts to Catholicism—particularly G.K. Chesterton. As a younger man, Pearce was “extremely anti-Catholic” and even had opposed Pope John Paul II’s visits to England.
