Clergy, Religious & Staff

Pastor: Rev. Fr. Casimir Puskorius, CMRI, was ordained in 1986. He served as pastor at Queen of Angels Church in southern California, then at Mount St. Michael from 1991-1994, and in Tacoma, Washington, for seven years. Since 2001, Father has been in residence at Mount Saint Michael, where he is the pastor of St. Michael’s parish, rector of St. Michael’s rectory, and also a high school teacher in St. Michael’s Academy. Father also served as editor of The Reign of Mary magazine for 14 years and is a regular speaker at our Fatima Conferences. An accomplished organist and choir director, Father Casimir frequently plays the organ for various ceremonies and sometimes joins in singing with the choir, when not himself offering Mass. His two sisters are also members of the Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen.

Assistant Pastor: Father Philip Davis, CMRI, was ordained by His Excellency on May 3, 2018. After a short time as pastor of our church in Sartell, Minnesota, he spent three years at the City of Mary in Rathdrum, Idaho, as assistant to Father Benedict at Mary Immaculate Queen Parish. He now resides here at Mount Saint Michael where he assists Father Casimir and also teaches in Saint Michael’s Academy. In addition to his teaching duties, Father Philip Marie travels regularly to provide Mass at the missions in Boise and Lewiston, Idaho.

Assistant Pastor: Fr. Joseph Pham was born in Hanoi in 1973. After receiving a degree in engineering he joined a seminary in 1998. In 2006 he was ordained a Novus Ordo “priest” and was then sent to the United States for additional education. As he attended classes in three different seminary colleges, by the grace of God Fr. Pham recognized the errors of the Vatican II Church and the invalidity of its orders. He approached Bishop Pivarunas for acceptance into Mater Dei Seminary and was eventually ordained a true priest on December 12, 2019. Fr. Pham, who is currently stationed at Mount Saint Michael, wrote an open letter to the clergy of his former diocese of Bac Ninh, which was published in The Reign of Mary. He also maintains an extensive blog in Vietnamese, in hopes of spreading the true faith to his countrymen.

The Sisters of CMRI, also known as the Marian Sisters, are well known in Spokane for their deep blue full-length traditional habits. The Sisters reside in the east wing of the Mount and help staff St. Michael’s Academy, St. Michael’s Gift Shop, and Mary Immaculate Queen Center — a print shop, mail order house and apostolic center.
