Please be aware that the email-notification app on this blog no longer works, so you’ll just have to check out these Life Updates every week. Also, don’t forget to subscribe to all my talks and videos at Padre Peregrino on Rumble. One of the funny accusations against me is that I'm not a good hermit precisely because I'm teaching people online or doing street evangelization (or, for example, today I am the roll of sub-deacon at a wedding.).  As I have written before, a hermit in the tradition of the Church is simply one who lives-alone.  It does not mean he refrains from talking to people or refrains from ministry.

To Material Donors I want to thank all my material donors (who greatly overlap with my material donors) who are so generous in monthly donations and one-time donations.  Ten years ago, I never expected to be having to raise my own funds as a priest.  But now I found that I have a freedom to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ without compromise comes as I run a private Catholic charity dedicated to evangelization, teaching, pro-life work and Church reform.  As you know, I still get health-insurance and dental-insurance from my diocese.  However, all of my room and board as well as ministry expenses are covered by your generous donations.

p/c Survivors LA Instagram As most of you know, I have been arrested for peacefully praying and counseling inside abortion centers in NJ and DC.  I do this with a group called Red Rose Rescue (RRR) that my friend Will Goodman wrote about on my website here not long ago.  A "rescue" is a group act to directly save lives in immediate danger by remaining in a killing center to intervene inside with peaceful prayer and calm counseling. There was a rescue in 2020 not associated with RRR but with some of the same people including my friends Will and Lauren.  The FBI went after them today.  Although Will is homeless [...]

For some reason, I have never written about my ministry at Sterling Correctional Facility (above) on the Eastern Plains of Colorado.  It's an extremely high-security prison in Sterling, CO.  I was once stationed as a Catholic priest here about 10 years ago.  Sterling contained Colorado's criminals who were on death-row.  However, two years ago (to the week) Governor Polis abolished the death penalty.  This was obviously several years after I left the facility. (Notice that the Federal-crimes death-row criminals are located in Colorado at infamous facility called Supermax.)  In any case, I used to go to the high-security Sterling Correctional Facility a few times a month to hear confessions, lead [...]

Hello Father Nix, I am a senior in a public high school and have been trying to discuss matters of the Faith to various people, I have been contemplating on whether I should give out blessed or unblessed Miraculous Medals in this type of environment. What do you suggest? Sincerely, G --- Hi G, It's a good question. I understand the philosophy of giving out unblessed Miraculous Medals (MM)s in case people of bad will sacrilege them but ultimately I think it's best to give out blessed MMs on chains to people who have a good-will. If someone has a bad will, we don't want them sacrileging MMs that are [...]

My friend, Msgr. Philip Reilly of the diocese of Brooklyn was the founder of Helpers of God's Precious Infants.  Msgr. Reilly was one of the pioneers of sidewalk counseling in the United States.  His method of love, fasting, prayer, kindness and constant presence at the abortion centers has been the cause of tens of thousands of saves and the closing of many abortion centers. Msgr. Reilly is an extremely gentle and compassionate sidewalk counselor who has turned away countless women from an abortion center in Brooklyn and has inspired the satellite units of Helpers of God's Precious Infants to close numerous abortion mills.  But even when sidewalk counselors are not [...]

You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.—Gen 50:20 NIV A friend recently described to me that her narcissistic mother-in-law was the "victim and hero" of every story she told.  I thought that was both hilarious and accurate in the description of what Miss Ann Barnhardt might call a "diabolical narcissist."  Remember, a narcissist is one not concerned as much with looks as with control, manipulation and gas-lighting. So, I'm very hesitant to write a blog post that could come anywhere close to the edge of the cliff of being both "victim and hero" but [...]

As many traditional priests are currently being told they must take oaths in favor of modernism (to the possible endangerment of their souls) I hereby take the oath against modernism as Pope St. Pius X asked all priests to take: I, Fr. David Nix, firmly embrace and accept each and every definition that has been set forth and declared by the unerring teaching authority of the Church, especially those principal truths which are directly opposed to the errors of this day. And first of all, I profess that God, the origin and end of all things, can be known with certainty by the natural light of reason from the created [...]
