Fr. Joseph Dalimata is a Catholic Priest of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) as well as the Co-Founder and CEO of Bosco Ministries, which hosts camps, retreats, and mission trips staffed by the priests and seminarians of the FSSP. Currently Fr. Dalimata splits his time between developing and operating Bosco Ministries’ wilderness camps and mission trips and serving as the Parochial Vicar of Immaculate Conception Church in El Paso, Texas.
A regular speaker on the Catholic radio show, Ask A Priest Live from The Station of the Cross, Fr. Dalimata is passionate about human and spiritual formation for men and boys, beautiful liturgy, and the proclamation of the Truth that is Jesus Christ to all men. He is guided by the firm believe, taken from St. John Bosco, that to be fully Catholic is also to be truly joyful.
Having grown up with his eleven siblings on a ranch bordering Glacier National Park, Montana, Fr. Dalimata was educated in public school, home school, as well as boarding school at St. Gregory’s Academy in Elmhurst, PA. After a brief stint in the culinary world of LA, and a year of education at Christendom College in Front Royal, VA, Fr. Dalimata began his priestly formation at Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary in Lincoln, NE in the fall of 2014. On May 28th, 2021 he was ordained to the priesthood and later stationed in El Paso, TX.
Formation in the beauty of the Rocky Mountains of Montana, the traditions of our Catholic Faith, and the music and poetry of our rich culture have given Fr. Dalimata a tremendous desire to nurture and share a love for all that is good, true, and beautiful. Aside from his service at Immaculate Conception and Bosco Ministries, Fr. Dalimata spends his time indulging his love of the outdoors as an avid trail runner and hiker, trying to get on a horse (or a motorcycle) as often as he can, and reading everything he can find about how to know Jesus Christ better.”
