Fr. Levi Hartle is a priest of the Diocese of Pittsburgh.  He was ordained in 2015.  Before being ordained to the priesthood, he attended college for 10 years, earning a bachelor’s in music education from Grove City College; a master’s in philosophy from Duquesne University; and both a bachelor’s in sacred theology and master’s in divinity from Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.  In addition to serving the parish as a Parochial Vicar, Fr. Levi is the Bishop’s Representative for Ecumenical and Interfaith affairs, Consultant to the Diocese of Pittsburgh’s Worship Office, and co-leader of Praise Nation.

As a priest, Fr, Levi’s favorite activity is to bring the people of God into the life of the Trinity through the Sacraments!  A close second is teaching people how to enter into the mystery of God through prayer, praise, and worship!  He says, “Recently, God has been increasing my faith and teaching me all about the charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit!  I look forward to sharing my experience of God with you!”

Fr. Levi regularly visits the children’s classrooms, sharing with them his God-given talent for praising our Lord through music.  Learn more about Praise Nation and check out some of Father Levi’s musical performances by clicking the red "YouTube" icons linked on Fr. Levi's profile.
