“Mission is my passion, and my goal is to invite every student on campus to discover the fullness of life in Christ. As Director of Student Mission I accompany and guide our students as they journey to mature Christian faith. I also have the privilege of working with our student leaders as they discern their gifts, their vocation, and how they are called to serve the Church as missionary disciples of Jesus Christ.”

Fr. Cody entered the Church at the Prince of Peace Newman Center at the University of Washington in 2008. During his undergraduate studies in Biochemistry and Informatics, he was trained as a student leader in campus ministry. Entering the Order of Preachers in 2011, Fr. Cody was educated in the philosophical and theological traditions of the Order (especially St. Thomas Aquinas), and has a Masters in Philosophy and a Masters of Divinity. His area of focus is sacred music and the liturgy. During his formation at St. Albert the Great Priory in Oakland, CA, he spent a pastoral year in campus ministry at St. Thomas More Newman Center at the University of Arizona, and spent a year studying in Rome at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum). He was ordained in 2019 and was sent to St. Catherine’s in Salt Lake City the same year to lead student ministry.
