Biography: 

Luis Javier De Prada was born and raised in Cuba until his family migrated to Miami, Florida, in 2008. After graduating from high school, he decided to pursue a BA in theology and philosophy and soon thereafter discerned to continue graduate studies in practical theology. For four years, De Prada taught Catholic Social Thought and World Religions at Immaculata La Salle High School where he engaged the youth in and outside of the classroom under both academic and ministerial roles. Throughout his theological formation, De Prada has developed a genuine passion for the arts, especially music, social sciences, service, Judeo-Christian spiritualities, spiritual direction, discernment, social justice, and most importantly, faith in its ever-enriching multicultural environment. Thus, he is very fascinated with the dynamics of orthodoxy and orthopraxis in the evolving journey of the people of faith in the contemporary world to which he has dedicated his PhD studies.
