Rev. Antonio "Tony" Castro
Pastor |
Fr. Antonio Castro ("Fr. Tony") was born in the Philippines and was ordained a priest on May 22, 1984. He
emigrated to the United States in 1994 and became a naturalized citizen.
He obtained Bachelor’s degrees in both Philosophy and Theology in the
Philippines, and earned his Master’s and Licentiate in Theology at the
Pontifical University of Santo Tomas (Angelicum) in Rome, Italy.
The first six years of his priesthood were spent in his
native land; the next four years in Italy. During his further studies in
Rome he kept going back and forth to the United States, particularly on
summer vacations. He eventually made the decision to stay in America. For
the last 12 years he has spent practically all his priestly life and
ministry in the archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.
His previous assignments in this archdiocese were:
As Parochial Vicar (Assistant Pastor) at
Epiphany of the Lord in Katy, at St. Hyacinth,
ca. 1996-1999, in Deer Park, at Notre Dame parish in southwest Houston, and
at St. John Neumann parish in northwest Houston.
As Pastor at Christ Our Light parish in Navasota.
Fr. Tony is an avid recreational golfer. On his day off you are almost
sure to find him on a golf course around the Houston area.
