Chaplain Team

Fr. Matthew Schmitz LC
Father Matthew is the acting chaplain of the school for the 2019-20 school year. He serves the students, parents, faculty, and staff as the spiritual mentor of the school. He coordinates the religious practices of the school and consults with and advises the Head of School regarding all spiritual activities of the school.

Fr. Anthony Sortino LC
Father Anthony provides spiritual direction for student, parents, and faculty throughout the year. Further, he serves on the CHA Board of Directors. As a former chaplain of the school, he provides counsel and support for the new chaplain and the Head of School.

Fr. Timothy Lyons LC
Father Timothy serves as the Mission Advancement Assistant to the school. He will share responsibilities with the Board Member directing the Capital Campaign and the Marketing Director of CHA as the school raises funds for the Cardinal Auditorium. While continuing to assist the chaplain, administering the sacraments when needed, and remaining a frequent presence on the campus, he will prioritize raising funds for the building of the auditorium. His efforts will directly help the school continue the integral formation mission as the new facility will allow the entire Canyon Heights Academy Community to come together for spiritual occasions and to build school spirit through arts and athletics. Fr. Timothy has fostered deep and lasting friendships in the community which makes him uniquely suited for this position.
