Friar Alberto Bravo was ordained to the priesthood on November 30, 2025, at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in his home diocese of El Paso, Texas, by the Most Reverend Mark J. Seitz, Bishop of El Paso.
Religious life is a call in the first place – to become holy – and in that way by your holiness to reveal Christ by your service. By the grace of God, I challenge you to choose Him, to choose a path to holiness and sacrifice, to choose the path of love, to become like Him, a true shepherd of the people you are called to serve …
Bishop Mark J. Seitz
