Father Altier was ordained to the Priesthood in 1989 at the Cathedral
of St. Paul. He served for three years as an
Associate Pastor at the Church of St. Raphael in
Crystal, an Associate Pastor at the Church of St.
Agnes in St. Paul for fourteen years, and now serves
as chaplain at the Reginal Nursing Home in Hastings. Father Altier has
lectured throughout the Twin Cities and is probably best
known for his 12-part series on the Fundamentals of
Catholicism and for his devotion to the Eucharist
and the Blessed Virgin Mary.
He has been a member of the Secular Order of
Discalced Carmelites for 22 years and serves as the
Spiritual Director for the
Mater Dolorosa
Chapter in St. Paul. He is the Chairman of the
Board of the Holy Family Adoption Agency, a
truly and fully Catholic Adoption agency. He is
also President of Help the Helpless, an
organization which raises funds to support
handicapped orphans in India.
Father Altier is also the Spiritual Director and a
board member of Catholic Parents OnLine, a
group which seeks to keep parents of school aged
children informed regarding issues pertinent to
parents and education. He is the Spiritual Director
for the Archdiocesan chapter of the World
Apostolate of Fatima and he heads the committee
for the annual Archdiocesan May Day Rosary
Procession.
He authored an examination of conscience which was
published by the Leaflet Missal Company in
2002. 200,000 copies of this examination have been
sold. Over 150 of his talks have been converted to
audio tapes by Divine Mercy Tapes, and over
350,000 have already been distributed. Neither
Father nor Divine Mercy tapes make any money from
these efforts—following the example of St. Paul, to
preach the Gospel free of charge
(1 Cor 9:18).
