Mexico City & Your Prayer Requests!
Hola mis amigos!
On Monday (June 4, 2012) I will make my way to Mexico City where I will live, study, and pray for the next three months. I hope to update with pictures as often as possible. If you have any prayer intentions please send them my way.
I will also make a pilgrimage to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I would be happy to lift you all up through prayer! I also ask you to keep me in your prayers as I try to learn the Spanish language and Mexican culture!
Gracias y Dios te bendiga!

Thank You For Your Support!
Hello All,
I’d like to thank all of you who supported my marathon training and donated to the Mother Teresa Maternity Home this past semester! Please continue to give your time and treasure to those in need. It is in giving of ourselves that we are able to share in the suffering and love of Christ, in His Cross and Resurrection. Here is a “thank you” letter from the charity…
I plan to run in a full marathon (26.2 miles) in December 2012. Anyone want to run it with me?! If you start training now, you’ll be ready! C’mon, let’s do it! :)

Summer Adventures & Beyond!
Greetings to All! :)
I hope all of you are well and ready to enjoy the summer!
This past week I finished my 5th year of seminary formation! It is an exciting time in my formation to the Roman Catholic priesthood. This summer I will be in Mexico for a 3-month Spanish Immersion program. I will be in Mexico City studying Spanish at Panamericana University. We will be learning and studying the Spanish culture and visiting the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe and other important sites in Mexico!
In the 2012-2013 academic school year I will be on my pastoral year (internship) at St. John the Baptist Parish in Chico CA. It will be a blessing to learn, serve, and spend time with the priests and people of God.
Before I embark on my trip to Mexico, I will have a few weeks off in May. Nothing is finalized but I do have a short list of quick adventures…
- Priestly Ordinations & First Masses in
SF, San Jose, Sactown - Giants, A’s, or Rivercats baseball game
- Drive-In Movie
Sacramento Roommate reunion- Random fun with family and friends
Let me know if you care to join me in any of these quick adventures, you are more than welcome! Summer is upon us. I hope all of you enjoy and have a safe summer! God bless. :)

Earlier this year (Feb 2012) I was blessed to have the opportunity to help film a music video for the Catholic Rap group FOUNDNATION in San Francisco! They are a great group of young people dedicated and in love with God. Check out their music at www.Facebook.com/FoundNation

Half-Marathon in San Francisco!
Hello All,
It’s hard for me to believe that I actually ran 13.1 miles this past Easter Sunday. I finished the half marathon in 2 hours and 34 minutes! My other seminarian brother Brian finished in 2 hours and 18 minutes. Words can’t express the joy I felt throughout the entire race. It was honestly one of the happiest days of my life! Here a few pictures of race day!
Crossing the finish line!
Right after I crossed the finish line, my right leg cramped up! LOL
Other runners resting after the marathon.
No Sacrifice, No Victory! This is what pure joy looks like! It was all worth it!
Thank you to all of you who supported me in my training and fundraising. It was a long, challenging but great 4 months of preparing for this marathon. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Anybody want to go for a run?! :) Happy Easter! -

Happy feast of St. Francis, brethren.
As promised here is the brand new music video for JREM’s San Francisco - filmed entirely on location in Assisi, Italy.
Enjoy.
Check out my Diocesan brother’s new music video on this feast of St. Francis.
I am happy to present to you my latest music video “San Francisco.” I hope all of you have a chance to visit the beautiful city of Assisi. Saint Francis, pray for us! :)
