Our Director of Liturgy, J.D. McQueen joined St. Theresa in 2017 from All Saints Episcopal Church in San Diego where he has served as Pastor for five years. 

He says, “Over the course of my ministry, it’s been the beauty of the Mass and the Catholic spiritual tradition that's drawn me to the Catholic Church and I'm excited to be able to share that passion as the Director of Liturgical Ministry at St Theresa.” 

J.D. grew up in Peoria, IL, studied music at Eureka College, and earned a Master’s of Divinity at Nashotah House Theological Seminary near Milwaukee, WI.
