Fr. Will Conquer was born in France on May 30, 1989, the feast of St. Joan of Arc. The son of an American mother and a French-Canadian father, he was raised to appreciate different approaches to the spiritual life--his mother became a charismatic Catholic as an adult, and his father was very traditional in the practice of his faith. He was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Monaco, and was sent by the Parish Foreign Missions Society to Cambodia.
