Fr. Daniel Brandenburg, LC

Fr. Daniel Brandenburg grew up in rural northern Iowa and felt a call to the priesthood at a young age. He entered the novitiate of the Legionaries of Christ in 1993 and was ordained a priest on December 22, 2007. In 2023, he completed a doctorate in education through Creighton University's Interdisciplinary Leadership Program.

He has served in various roles and lived in several cities worldwide, and currently serves as chaplain for the Lumen Institute in Atlanta, GA, while also supporting Regnum Christi in Jacksonville, FL and occasionally elsewhere around the country. He is chairman of the board of directors for Catholic World Mission, and serves as secretary of Opera Misericordiae, an international network of organizations dedicated to service of those most in need. He co-hosts a weekly radio show and podcast, Crossed Wires, offering a Catholic take on current events.

In 2016, Fr. Daniel survived a heart attack and in 2018 was diagnosed with multiple myeloma cancer. The experience of suffering and brushes with death has colored his outlook on life. He strives to live each day as a gift from God.
