About Father Chavez
and the Amator Alliance

“…it is high time now for you to wake from sleep” (Rom 13:11).

Fr. Phillip Chavez is a priest of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity, the same congregation of Fr. John Corapi. While he has engaged in parish work in the U.S., Canada, and Italy since his ordination in 1993, he has been involved in pro-life work and has diligently applied himself to concerns of marriage and family. Now, embarking in men’s outreach, he presents a forum to restore the hearts of men and strengthen their spirit to build stronger families and a more vital society.

Even if faithful in their Christian walk, many men struggle with their identity and need to experience a summons to surmount their fears and move in a direction that accords strength and purpose. Fr. Chavez endeavors to assist men toward an understanding of their masculine identity, and labors to aid them to pursue their masculine journey, as vigorous Christian men.

Fr. Chavez 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.

In accomplishing these ends, Fr. Chavez necessarily treats many areas of masculine character development, as well as address the far-reaching effects of internal conflicts, lack of male mentoring, emasculating formative experiences, and cultural influences that beset them. He also emphasizes the need for men to face their journey of sonship—specifically in the model and path of Jesus Christ and His Heavenly Father. Other subject areas he treats can be found on the “speaking” link.

Fr. Chavez has spoken throughout the US on these topics, while networking with men’s groups in various states. Also, he is currently collaborating with the Knights of Columbus, offering workshops for their members on the vision and the spirit of their founder, Fr. Michael McGivney. St. Joseph’s Communications has published a number of his recordings.

Holding graduate degrees in Theology, Philosophy, and Marriage & Family Studies, Fr. Chavez has culminated his studies with a doctorate in Moral Theology from Rome, graduating Summa Cum Laude.
