About Fr. Philip Yang
Father Philip Yang was born in Los Angeles, California. He attended Catholic school most of his life at Saint Irenaeus and Servite high school. He graduated with a history degree from UC Irvine.
While considering the life of marriage, he got very involved in a young adult Bible study group. Here, he discovered his vocation through the word of God. After much discerning, Father Philip decided to join the Augustinians after reading the confessions written by Saint Augustine.
Father Philip received his Masters in Divinity at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. After spending 2 years as an Associate Pastor in San Diego, he was assigned as the next Vocations Director for the California province of Saint Augustine.
Father Philip's passion is studying scriptures and helping young adults encounter the word of God.
