I am trying to track down this priest and see if he is still alive.

Any ideas?

error
Even after a long life of sin, if the Christian receives the Sacrament of the dying with the appropriate dispositions, he will go straight to heaven without having to go to purgatory. - Fr. M. Philipon; This sacrament prepares man for glory immediately, since it is given to those who are departing from this life. - St. Thomas Aquinas; It washes away the sins that remain to be atoned, and the vestiges of sin; it comforts and strengthens the soul of the sick person, arousing in him a great trust and confidence in the divine mercy. Thus strengthened, he bears the hardships and struggles of his illness more easily and resists the temptation of the devil and the heel of the deceiver more readily; and if it be advantageous to the welfare of his soul, he sometimes regains his bodily health. - Council of Trent

The YouTube channel description says:
QuoteIt is an apostolate of Fr. Jim Anderson, MSA, JD, PhD, a retired Navy chaplain and former attorney, and Dean of Studies and Admissions of Holy Apostles Seminary in Cromwell, CT. 

I would reach out to Holy Apostles Seminary and ask if he's still alive and how to contact him.  I didn't see him (immediately) when I skimmed their current website.

sorry, ignore.  I posted the same link.

Even if he teaches at a seminary, he should be incardinated in the diocese in order to offer the sacraments, so they should have some record.  I would think at least.....

Well, a good way to find out if someone has died is to google their name with the word obituary. It helps to have an idea of where they lived as common names will bring up more than one person

I did that and didn't find him, but of course it is not definitive.

Here is his website which lists contact info: https://forjesusandmary.org/Fatima_SecondCareerPriest_.html

Edit: And he is still listed on his order's website: https://msa-usa.org/priests-and-brothers
