Here’s how Fr. Jason describes himself:
My name is Fr. Jason Prati. From a very early age, I felt called to serve our Lord as well as His Church. Entering seminary after High School, I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy as well as my Masters of Divinity from the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus, Ohio. I was ordained a Roman Catholic priest in May of 2002 serving as Parochial Vicar of four parishes, Assistant Director of Vocations, Chaplain of a High School and Coordinator of Pontifical Liturgies. In 2008, God moved in my life and I found my way into the Episcopal Church being received as an Episcopalian by Bishop Kenneth Price in May of 2009 and as a priest by Bishop Thomas Breidenthal of the Diocese of Southern Ohio in April of 2013. I am a teacher by nature, loving to share the Good News of Jesus Christ by my life and witness not only as a priest, but as a Christian on fire! I come from an Italian-American family, so people, faith and love are my passion! I am beyond blessed to be called to serve as Rector of All Saints. I hope you find this parish as the loving, warm and caring parish that I too have found! May God bless you in your journey!
