What is PRI

We are dedicated to awakening all to the abundance of God’s loving presence made manifest in our humanity. We explore and teach this universal spiritual truth through podcasts, radio, online videos, printed and audio materials, seminars, lectures series and retreats. We are committed to sharing the power and richness of a spiritual life based on the teaching of Jesus Christ, who won for us the possibility of an intimate union with God.

After leaving the University of Dallas as chaplain, Don began a unique ministry of presenting his Sunday homily on the radio that reached people across the metroplex. Don realized the importance of sharing this ministry with a much broader audience than just his parishioners so in 1987, Pastoral Reflections, the radio program, was born.

In the spring of 2009, shortly before retiring from 43 years of active parish ministry, Don founded Pastoral Reflections Institute (PRI), a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Contributions to PRI not only fund the production and publication costs of the radio program and homilies, but also enables PRI to offer retreats, pilgrimages, lectures, and workshops. All of these ministries allow participants to deepen and enrich their understanding of their spiritual journey.
