Father Jim Crisman

Father Jim Crisman graduated from Franciscan University with a degree in math. He worked in financial services after college but knew the Lord was calling him to something more. He next ministered in Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary, teaching English and catechetics. Restless, he returned to the United States, obtained a graduate degree in education, moved to Colorado, and taught math. The Lord wasn’t done with him. Eventually, God called him to discern a vocation to the priesthood. Ordained in 2001 for the Archdiocese of Denver, Father Jim now serves as the pastor of St. Peter Parish in Greeley, Colorado.

Beyond his archdiocesan duties, Father John works extensively with Mother Teresa’s sisters and has given retreats, conferences, and spiritual direction for them in Africa, Europe, and the U.S.
