Tim Staples was raised a Southern Baptist and later became very involved in ministry in Assembly of God communities. During his tour in the Marines he met a Marine who really knew his Catholic faith and challenged Tim to study Catholicism from historical sources. Determined to prove Catholicism wrong, Tim studied his way to the last place he thought he would ever end up… the Catholic Church. After his conversion Tim spent six years in formation for the priesthood earning a degree in Philosophy from St. Charles Borromeo Seminary. Realizing his calling was not to the priesthood, Tim left the seminary and is now married with a family and has been working in Catholic Apologetics and Evangelization ever since, heard often on Catholic radio.

After leaving the Army he entered the Fathers of Mercy and was ordained a priest in 1991. In 1997, Fr. Casey was elected the Superior General of the Congregation. Father attributes his call to the priesthood to the Mercy of God, his love for Sacred Scripture, and his strong devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Father Casey is a renowned speaker at conferences nationwide and a frequent guest on EWTN.
