Fr. Tony Isola (A.B.in philosophy, Master’s in theology and doctorate in ministry) studied at a Roman Catholic seminary in California for eleven years and was ordained a deacon. After he left the RC seminary, he began to seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which he found in Scottsdale, Arizona. He also found there his wife, Liz. They raised their children in Scottsdale, Apache Junction and Mesa, AZ. There Fr. Tony started and served as principal for ACE schools. He was ordained a priest by Mar Mikhael of the Eastern Catholic Church and started Omega Church in Mesa, AZ.

For twenty years Fr Tony and his wife were part of a community at a Christian boarding school in Ontario, Canada. He was received as a priest in the CEC by Bishop Bates in 2002 at tomb of Fr. Brebeuf, the martyred Jesuit missionary to the Huron and Iroquois nations. Fr. Tony taught in Virginia for four years before moving to California and joining Church of the Advent.
