God
has always taken great care of St. Francis Xavier Parish. His care and
love for us continues in the form of some much needed relief for our Fr.
Benny. As most of you know, for the past two years Fr. Benny has been
nearly superhuman as our sole priest and administrator.
We are
happy to announce that God has led Fr. Sebastian Vettickal to St. Francis
Xavier. Fr. Sebastian, both knows us and wants us. Since the first time
he presided at Mass here in 2002, he’s been back on numerous occasions.
He’s presided at Masses, assisted with Confessions, and he has even led a
retreat here. Through his charismatic personality, we have thoroughly
enjoyed his stories during his homilies.
Fr. Sebastian, a Carmelite priest was born on December 22, 1962. After
graduating from high school, he joined the religious order of Carmelites
of Mary Immaculate (CMI). He was ordained on December 31, 1991. Fr.
Sebastian arrived in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles in 2000. He served
two years at Sacred Heart Church in Ventura, 11 years at St. Denis Church
in Diamond Bar and currently serves as the Administrator at Holy Trinity
Church in San Pedro.
The
best part is that as Fr. Sebastian begins his new assignment at St.
Francis Xavier Parish on July 1, as our Administrator, our Fr. Benny will
still be our Fr. Benny. He is staying with us! We welcome Fr. Sebastian
and ask that you keep him and Fr. Benny in your prayers.
