He was formed in theology and philosophy by the St. Thomas Aquinas Course between 1994 and 1999, and he obtained a degree in Theology at the Ítalo Brasileiro Catholic University in 2007.
He consecrated himself to Jesus through Mary at a young age and has lived and taught this spirituality all his life.

His joyful witness as a consecrated religious and his passionate dedication to evangelization have characterized his pastoral work in several countries where he was sent on mission: the United States of America, Canada, Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay, and Italy.

Get to know my Course:
“Is there some secret to becoming a Saint?” This is a question that the Heralds of the Gospel are often asked in their missions around the world.
So, is there a secret to becoming a Saint? A secret that will make me persevere and overcome my sins? A secret that will help me reach Heaven? Here’s the answer of a great Saint and theologian, Louis de Montfort:
“Just as in nature there are secrets enabling us to do certain natural things quickly, easily and at little cost, so in the spiritual life there are secrets which enable us to perform works rapidly, smoothly and with facility.” (True Devotion to Mary, No. 82)
Why is it that so many souls make such great efforts to achieve holiness, but make little progress? It is because they have not discovered this secret to holiness: the Secret of Mary.
This “Secret of Mary”, that St. Louis de Montfort teaches, is a special method to consecrate ourselves to Jesus through the hands of Mary. In the words of this Saint, it is the “safest, easiest, shortest, and most perfect way” to unite ourselves perfectly to Jesus and become saints (cf. True Devotion to Mary, No. 55).
In this course, Fr. Timothy Ring will walk you through the book “True Devotion to Mary” by St. Louis de Montfort and help you prepare to make this Consecration. He will also answer all your questions and clear all your doubts.
Don’t miss out on this course. It might be the most important step that you take in your spiritual life!
After a month long preparation, we all made our Consecration to Jesus through Mary as slaves of love. It was a beautiful journey… But, the Consecration was just the beginning! We now begin our lives as slaves of Jesus and Mary.
But, how does this new dimension of our spiritual life influence our daily activities? How do we live the Consecration to Mary in our lives at home, with our families, in our prayer-life, in our life of participation at the Eucharist, in our life as members of the Catholic Church, in our lives as consecrated religious, or as priests?
In this new course called “I’m Consecrated to Our Lady… What’s Next?” Fr. Timothy Ring will explain how the Holy Slavery to Mary deeply influences not only all that we do, but even what we are! Don’t miss out on this course that is an indispensable companion to your Consecration to Mary.
