Our Priests

Fr. Charles Van Vliet, FSSP, is the founding pastor of Regina Caeli Parish.  He is of Dutch-Canadian ancestry and worked on helicopters for 11 years as aircraft maintenance engineer in Canada before studying philosophy at Thomas Aquinas College in California. As a youth, he worked with his father, a master carpenter, and became equally adept at carpentry. He began his priestly studies at the International St. Peter Seminary in Wigratzbad, Germany, in 1992 and was ordained to the priesthood in Ottawa, Canada, in 1996.  He served in various FSSP apostolates in Canada and the United States. In 1998, he was assigned to oversee the construction of Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary in Denton, Nebraska.  Construction of Sts. Peter and Paul Chapel was the final phase; it was completed in early 2010 and dedicated on March 3, 2010.

In 2006, Father Van Vliet attended the General Chapter of the Fraternity of St. Peter in Wigratzbad, Germany and was elected to a six year term on the General Council as Third Assistant to the Superior General and General Bursar. He established the Houston apostolate of the Fraternity in August 2011.

Fr. Daniel Alloy, FSSP joined Regina Caeli Parish in July of 2022. He hails from Nebraska, where his immediate family members still reside and where he attended Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary. Ordained June 1, 2020, his first assignment was St. Stephen of Hungary parish in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Father worked there for two years as parochial vicar under Fr. Gregory Pendergraft, FSSP. He is fluent in Spanish, having spent a year in Guadalajara, Mexico prior to his ordination.

Fr. Alloy believes the priesthood is an unfathomable blessing for a man called to it and he is deeply grateful to live out this vocation in accordance with the perennial traditions of the Church, within a community of fellow priests in a society of apostolic life. Click here to read more.

Fr. Benjamin Feuerborn, FSSP, joined Regina Caeli Parish on July 3, 2024, as his first priestly assignment. He was born and raised in Nebraska not far from Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary, which he attended beginning in the Fall of 2017. He was ordained a priest forever on May 29th, 2024, at St. Cecilia’s Cathedral in Omaha, Nebraska, by Archbishop Terrence Prendergast.
 
Father’s interest in the vocation of priesthood began not long after his family started attending the Latin Mass at the FSSP’s Lincoln apostolate, St. Francis of Assisi. He began serving as an altar boy and continued for 14 years. Fr. Feuerborn had the privilege of returning in 2021 to MC the Solemn High Pontifical 100-year Anniversary Mass of the Consecration of St. Francis Chapel. He is excited to embark on his priestly journey to bring souls to Christ!
