Fr. Donald Calloway, M.I.C.: Kicked Out of Japan as a Teen, Encountered Christ through Mary

July 23, 2007 No Comments

Father Donald lived the wild life as a teenager. He was so reckless that the government of Japan kicked him out of the country when he was a teen. He wondered hopelessly as a Grateful Deadhead, existing on macaroni & cheese and massive amounts of drugs. Thought his turmoil, his parents became Catholic — through the witness of a Filipino lady. On a night that he was sure he was going to die, he was radically converted to Christ when he happened upon a book on the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

He discovered his vocation to the Priesthood in the Congregation of Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary. Fr. Donald has written the book, “No Turning Back: A Witness to Mercy.” His website is: www.fathercalloway.com.
