MEET

Deacon James Fangmeyer

• Fourth Theology •

Seminary: North American College
Home Parish: St. Patrick, Rockville
I’m a morning person. I like to pray, exercise, share breakfast and discuss the news to start my day.

My life before the seminary:
I co-created a web application to support spiritual growth: NaviMinistry.org. I also co-created a business to connect people via live 3-D holographic projection: ProfesorAvatar.com. Before that I worked as a data analyst at Tecnológico de Monterrey in Mexico. Through highs and lows, Mary the mother of God increased my love for her son, my leader, Jesus, and I entered Saint John Paul II Seminary at age 25.

What convinced me to enter the seminary:
I was happier in the seminary than anywhere else.

Other interests include:
I want to learn Chinese and attend Mass at every parish in the Archdiocese of Washington.
