Priest-Spritual Director-Public Speaker-Consultant
Fr. Castello believes we weren't meant to manage our brokenness—we were meant to live from wholeness. As a priest, certified spiritual director, and ordained minister in the Old Catholic tradition, he walks alongside people navigating the sacred intersections of faith, identity, and belonging.
Based in Charlotte, NC, Fr. Castello serves as pastor of Christ the Healer Old Catholic Community, where Eucharist isn't just ritual—it's medicine for the soul. A peer support specialist and Gottman-trained relationship leader, he brings both pastoral presence and practical wisdom to the work of healing: in prayer and in partnership, at the altar and in the everyday.
Currently pursuing graduate work exploring Eucharist as a Ritual of Healing at St. Stephen's University, Fr. Castello is committed to a ministry that meets people where they are—not with judgment, but with grace. Not with answers, but with accompaniment. He accepts clients for spiritual direction on an ongoing basis at a sliding-scale rate.
