Daniel's Story

Daniel's Journey to the Priesthood

My name is Daniel Barba.
I was born in Ripon, California.
I love playing basketball,
running, and biking. My most happy and joy-filled moments
are seeing young men and women begin to embrace
and live out their Catholic faith with enthusiasm.

This Scripture passage has special meaning for Daniel

One of my favorite passages in Sacred Scripture is, “I praise Thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth” from the Gospel of Matthew 11:25. I use this verse, like Jesus did, to praise my loving Father.

Daniel Recommends this book

One of my favorite books is "The Rhythm of Life" by Matthew Kelly, because it reminds of how to live my life with joy and passion.
