INVOCATION: REV. GREG DAVIDSON

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 we/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 of discernment, I entered the seminary for the Catholic diocese of Austin.
