Father Michael Rodríguez was ordained in 1996 for the Diocese of El Paso, Texas. He served at various urban and rural parishes and as Director of Vocations. He began offering the Traditional Latin Mass in 2005 and since 2011 has offered the Holy Sacrifice exclusively according to the venerable and ancient Roman Rite. His articles have been featured in numerous periodicals. He has spoken all over the world and his sermons online have been heard by thousands (both in English and Spanish). Father is well-beloved for his solicitous care of souls, teaching of traditional doctrine, defense of the Holy Sacrament of Marriage, and for encouraging all Catholics to tirelessly strive towards the restoration of Catholic tradition.
