“I’ve been told that I ought to slow down and not work so much. But I like doing the things that priests do!”
Fr. Larry Guerrero
"To me it’s a very rewarding job. I really enjoy seeing families being so grateful. The patient is very happy to be able to receive the sacrament before dying.”
Fr. Alvaro Araque
“Most of the priests that have served in this Diocese have left their families and what they know as young people. They came to Stockton to be of service to people, and in a very real way, gave their lives to our community.”
