Meet our twin brother presenters: Miguel and P.J. Chavez!

Appointed in the summer of 2004, Miguel has been active with Walsh University as a student and now continues in Campus Ministry in service to holistically enriching students, staff and faculty. Miguel is a resident of Stark County and has been very active in area church, ministry, and educational programs. He received his B.A. and M.A. from Walsh University in Theology and Pastoral Ministry. Miguel also serves as an adjunct professor in Theology.

“God has truly blessed me with the fulfilling opportunity to work in Campus Ministry. As people of God we are all called ‘to be’ the change in the world and to bring about a reality of love that illuminates the dignity of all. To this end I commit myself. In this commitment I am blessed!”

Pedro J Chavez (P.J.) is the Director of Liturgical Services for the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Chapel at Walsh University. He was appointed the summer of 2006 and holds an M.A.Ed, from Walsh University and is an instrument rated commercial pilot with a CFII Certificate from Kent State University. PJ directs the music ministry and the liturgical ministries in the chapel.“I feel very blessed to be at Walsh University. Praising the Lord through music is very special because music is a form of prayer that words cannot begin to describe. It is a way to experience God on a spiritual and emotional level and feel His presence alive in heart and soul!”
