Benediction: Fr. John Guzaldo
My name is Father John Guzaldo, and I am the pastor of St. Luke Catholic Church. Here is a brief biography of my life. I was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1969 into a devout Catholic family. We were raised in a Catholic home and went to a Catholic school until I was eleven. In 1980, my family moved to San Marcos, Texas, and/I have been a Texan ever since. I was raised in San Marcos and went to college there as well to be a school teacher. After college, I taught in both public and Catholic schools (mostly public). I was your everyday History teacher and coach. I loved those days. In 1999, however, after seven years in the classroom and on the football and soccer fields, and after much time spent in discernment, I entered the seminary of the Catholic Diocese of Austin.
