Fr. Nathan Ford
Associate Pastor-Vocations & Youth at Canons Regular of St. John CantiusFr. Nathan Ford, SJC was born in Coldwater, MI to Kelly and Jodi Ford, and is the eldest of four children (Aaron, 25; Sarah, 22; and Allison, 20.). He spent his summers going camping throughout Northern Michigan, fishing, singing in choirs, and spending time with family and friends.
“Ever since I was about 6 or 7, I knew that I wanted to be a priest,” said Fr. Ford. This calling stayed with him throughout his upbringing and in high school he stumbled upon a new religious community in the heart of Chicago. “I was immediately drawn to this new little order for a few reasons: the importance they placed on living out the liturgical life and traditions of the Church, the close brotherhood that I encountered there, and most importantly the joy that these men all had.” After completing his two years in the Novitiate he went on to study at Holy Apostles College and Seminary in Cromwell, CT for his undergraduate in Philosophy and then began his studies at Mundelein Seminary in August of 2017.
