[Information about Fr. Doug Grandon, PhD, National Chaplain for Focus Ministry]
When I was fifteen, my first pastor helped me discern that I would one day be ordained. In my early twenties, I served as a missionary translator in Communist Yugoslavia. When I returned home, I married my wife, Lynn, a woman vastly superior to me – and a proud Swede! While attending my first seminary, I started a new church for the Evangelical Free Church and, later, served five years as an Episcopal priest. In 2003, Lynn and I entered into full communion with the Catholic Church, along with our four youngest children. In 2008, Pope Benedict granted Daniel Jenky, Bishop of Peoria, permission to ordain me a married Catholic priest, under the Pastoral Provision created by Pope St. John Paul II. Since my ordination, I’ve served four parishes and taught at St. John Vianney Seminary here in Denver. In 2015, the Founder of FOCUS (the Fellowship of Catholic University Students), Curtis Martin, invited me to join the FOCUS staff as a part-time National Chaplain. Since 2020, I’ve been serving full-time with FOCUS, while still assisting with Masses at St. Vincent de Paul parish in Denver. In 2022, the USCCB invited me to serve as one of fifty Eucharistic Revival Preachers.
