Father Emmanuel Sanchez

(cont'd from first page)

He went on to graduate from California State University Dominguez Hills and then moved to the major seminary of St. John’s in Camarillo. He completed four years of theological studies and year of pastoral internship at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Rowland Heights. He was ordained a priest on June 3, 2023, and assigned to Resurrection Parish in east Los Angeles.

Father Emmanuel is fully bilingual and has a particular love of the liturgy. He reflected that “Life as a parish priest has been a blast!” At Resurrection Church, under the guidance of Msgr. John Moretta, he strove to bring people closer to the love of Christ and experienced a wide scope of what priesthood means, noting that “each day is an adventure full of excitement, challenges, and blessings.”

​He is looking forward to serving here in Santa Clarita at OLPH!
