About Father Chavez
and the Amator Institute
“…it is high time now for you to wake from sleep” (Rom
13:11).
Fr. Phillip Chavez is a priest of the Society of Our Lady of the
Most Holy Trinity, the same congregation of Fr. John Corapi. While
he has engaged in parish work in the U.S., Canada, and Italy since
his ordination in 1993, he has been involved in pro-life work and
has diligently applied himself to concerns of marriage and family.
Now, embarking in men’s outreach, he presents a forum to restore
the hearts of men and strengthen their spirit to build stronger families
and a more vital society.
Even if faithful in their Christian walk, many men struggle with
their identity and need to experience a summons to surmount their
fears and move in a direction that accords strength and purpose.
Fr. Chavez endeavors to assist men toward an understanding of their
masculine identity, and labors to aid them to pursue their masculine
journey, as vigorous Christian men.
Fr. Chavez maintains that each man needs to be solidly grounded
in his supernatural summons to share in the three-fold office of
Christ as Priest, Prophet, and King, in order to fully realize his
Christian calling and build up the Kingdom of God. Secondly, he strives
to forge an understanding of a man’s God-given natural role
as Leader, Protector, and Provider for those in his care and periphery.
In accomplishing these ends, Fr. Chavez necessarily treats many
areas of masculine character development, as well as address the
far-reaching effects of internal conflicts, lack of male mentoring,
emasculating formative experiences, and cultural influences that
beset them. He also emphasizes the need for men to face their journey
of sonship—specifically in the model and path of Jesus Christ
and His Heavenly Father. Other subject areas he treats can be found
on the “speaking” link.
Fr. Chavez has spoken throughout the US on these topics, while networking
with men’s groups in various states. Also, he is currently
collaborating with the Knights of Columbus, offering workshops for
their members on the vision and the spirit of their founder, Fr.
Michael McGivney. St. Joseph’s Communications has published
a number of his recordings.
Holding graduate degrees in Theology, Philosophy, and Marriage & Family
Studies, Fr. Chavez has culminated his studies with a doctorate in
Moral Theology from Rome, graduating Summa Cum Laude.

men in society!
“
Be strong, and show yourself a man, and keep the charge of the Lord
your God,
walking in his ways and keeping his statutes…” (1Kg 2:2-3).
