Thank you for your warm welcome, a true testament that the spirit is alive and well here at St. Martin of Tours!
I came to St. Martin's Parish from St. Cyprian’s in Sunnyvale, where I was the pastoral administrator for six months. I was ordained into the priesthood ten years ago on June 13, 1998. My first assignment took me to St. Thomas Aquinas in Palo Alto for a year, followed by 5 years at St. Mary’s, Los Gatos. After that, I spent 2 1/2 years at St. Lawrence in Santa Clara.
I was born on March 2, 1967 at Mather Air Force Baste in Sacramento, California. My parents live in Anchorage, Alaska along with my two older sisters (I am the youngest of three children). I love being an uncle to my three nieces and nephew. My father is retired from the Air Force.
I originally came to the Bay Area in the summer of 1984, graduated from Santa Teresa High School in 1986 and from St. Joseph College Seminary in 1990 with degrees in psychology and philosophy. I then went to St. Patrick Seminary and during some time off (five years) where I worked for the Gap, Inc., as a Construction Administrator.
My hobbies and interests include music, reading, ice hockey (Go Sharks!), cooking scuba diving, skiing and the outdoors. With such an array of interests, I look forward to an energetic ministry as your pastor and I ask for your support and prayers.
Peace,
Fr. Chris
