Originally from Cebu, Philippines, he entered the Society of Jesus in 2004 after having practiced registered nursing for eight years in California. A classically trained pianist and vocalist, Fr. Julian has more than 30 years of experience in church music as chorister, cantor, accompanist, and director. During his formation as a Jesuit, he also taught three years of high school theology and choral music, and was often called upon to coordinate music for province-wide liturgies such as ordinations and vows. Following his own priestly ordination, Fr. Julian served as a parochial vicar in Seattle, Washington and as a vocation promoter for the USA West Province of the Society of Jesus.
