A fond farewell and best wishes to Father Cesar Izaguirre as he moves on to Saint Helena Parish and Saint Martin of Tours Parish. 

Father Cesar studied here as a seminarian, and as Parochial Administrator, his passionate dedication to St. Patrick Church began on day one.  His unflagging energy and creativity with ideas like his Parish Pasta Dinner put forth his talents, not only as an amateur chef, but more importantly as a unifying force, bringing our diverse congregation together in new ways.

His brought new friends to work, volunteer and worship with us, along with a wealth of solutions at the ready for the daily challenge of caring for a historical Church.  His warmth and enthusiasm resonated with parishioners and staff alike.

Father Cesar’s spirit shines brightly, and he will most certainly inspire people wherever he is called to serve, just as he has here for us at St. Pats.

We’ll miss you, Father!

Go Phils!
