FR. JAMES BLOUNT, SOLT

Fr. James Blount, SOLT, is a Catholic priest of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity, ordained in 1999, known internationally as a preacher, retreat leader, and spiritual director. He has studied under Fr. Gabriel Amarth and is certified through the Vatican in completion of that course training in deliverance ministry and exorcism, although at this time he is not assigned as a diocesan exorcist. 

Early in his priesthood, he served for nine years in Belize, where he was pastor of Divine Mercy Catholic Church, oversaw multiple mission outposts, served as spiritual director of the Charismatic Renewal, and helped establish Guadalupe Radio for Catholic evangelization. Fr. Blount’s ministry is marked by a strong emphasis on living in intimate relationship with the Holy Trinity, deep devotion to the Eucharist and the Blessed Virgin Mary, and fidelity to the sacramental life of the Church. 

He frequently speaks on themes of spiritual warfare, healing, conversion, and holiness, and is closely associated with approved devotions such as the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Divine Will. He travels widely in the United States and abroad, leading missions and retreats that call people to deeper faith, repentance, and trust in God’s power and mercy.
