About Giuseppe
Giuseppe Njualem is a Catholic Seminarian for the great Diocese of St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. By the grace of God, and with inspiration from friend priests and professors, he is the builder of HomilyWriterAI—the most popular homily writing tool for priests in North America.
Born with a passion for both faith and technology, Giuseppe discovered his unique calling to serve the Church through innovative solutions that support priestly ministry.
The Story Behind HomilyWriterAI
During his seminary studies in Canada, Giuseppe was commissioned as part of his parish practice to write Sunday homilies for his pastor—an awesome homilist himself. While Giuseppe truly enjoyed this sacred task, he quickly discovered that it was easily the most time-consuming aspect of priestly ministry.
He sometimes spent over 3 hours researching and reading through biblical commentaries, magisterial documents, and the writings of Church Fathers to create a single insightful homily. This experience led to a profound realization: there had to be a better way to support priests in this essential ministry without compromising quality or theological depth.
A Providential Combination
Fortunately, Giuseppe had done coding work before entering seminary about half a decade ago. When AI technology was becoming more accessible and powerful, he spent time during his seminary vacation working on a tool that would significantly reduce homily preparation time—especially the research phase—while maintaining theological excellence.
The Vision: Co-Creator, Not Replacement
Giuseppe's primary concern was ensuring that HomilyWriterAI would never replace the priest's unique insight and personal touch. Instead, the tool is designed to save priests valuable time for prayer and reflection on the Scripture passages, allowing them to fulfill other crucial aspects of their priestly ministry.
That's why the homily creation process is carefully structured to consider everything a priest would naturally include in their preparation. HomilyWriterAI serves as a co-creator in the homily writing process—a faithful assistant, not a replacement for the priest's irreplaceable role.
"This project is dear to my heart because I know I will be needing a tool like this in my own future ministry, at least on those days when other aspects of priestly ministry leave no time for homily preparation. I guess we could content ourselves with saying the Spirit will guide on such occasions, but it is probably negligence on our part if a few clicks could help us be more ready and potentially even more receptive to the Spirit's promptings."
A Tool Built with Priestly Feedback
Since launching HomilyWriterAI, Giuseppe has received overwhelming positive feedback from priests across North America. Many have reached out via email to share how much they love the tool and how much time it has saved them in their busy ministries.
Giuseppe remains deeply committed to continuously improving HomilyWriterAI based on priests' needs and suggestions. His goal is simple: to create the best possible tool to support priests in their sacred calling to preach the Gospel effectively and powerfully.
